By November 1941, it became clear that the U.S. would be dragged into the war in Europe.  The Defense Department ran ads in newspapers across the nation (including Eagle) encouraging young men to enlist in the armed services.  These are a few samples from the Eagle Quill newspaper in November 1941.

Even Popeye joined the enlistment effort

Eagle families prepared to send their men into war. Women were going to have to replace the men to keep factories running.
