The people, the places and even the name 'Utah' played a unique role in the Second World War. From Pearl Harbor and Normandy to the farms and cities here at home, explore Utah's contribution to the fight for freedom in KBYU's production of UTAH IN WORLD WAR II. See how Utah's location as the crossroads of the west made the Beehive State a surprisingly vital part of the war effort. Hear first-hand accounts from Utah's greatest generation as they share stories of sewing parachutes in Manti, building munitions in Salt Lake, suffering the indignities of internment in the Great Basin, training for battle in Kearns, testing top secret weapons in the west desert, working alongside POW's in Salina and healing the wounds of war in Brigham City.—Rob Sibley
