Prompt: The Greatest Generation’s “Can Do” spirit is what kept the United States military supplied throughout World War II. From food and supply rationing to long factory hours, acquiring new skills and moving away from gender segregated jobs, civilian Americans sacrificed without complaint to ensure victory against the Axis forces. Their willingness to do whatever it took to succeed has defined their generation.

The Silent Wings Museum’s Annual Poetry Competition for 2025 is titled, They Did What They Had To Do; Celebrating the “Can Do” spirit of the Greatest Generation. Poems should reflect on and honor their spirit and sacrifices.
