LAUGH, CRY & REMEMBER is the personal experience of a kid from Brooklyn, a civilian-turned-soldier in WWII, who trod the stony uphill path where the WAAC/WAC was the unwitting avant-garde for women's rights. Initially occupied with secret charts & graphs, she became a poster designer for recruitment while fighting the battle of heartache at the sight of men torn from hearth & home. From enlistment day through many posts & Army schools, Pollard's laughter & tears exemplifies the commitment of those members of the first permanent female Forces who changed forever women's roles in the defense of our nation. "A vivid perception of what it was like for service women during WWII & proof that the ladies could do any job assigned to them & do it well."--Scottsdale Arizona Progress. "This account of life in the WAAC/WAC is told with wit & charm as well as with an eye to history."--Col. Arthur Blair (USA), Ret.-Mosher Institute, Texas A&M. "My reaction is unvarnished admiration for Ms. Pollard who recorded her memories so others can understand the motivation that sustained her & other WACs."--Major Anne Krisanauskas (ret.)-WAAC/WAC/WAF.
