Mary Barclay Brokerick was an unsung hero from WWII. Americans jumped into action after the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7th 1941. Both the President and the First Lady took the initiative to mobilize our nation. Here is another unsung hero who served as the Seattle Red Cross knitting chairman for the Puget Sound area. She organized a fantastic knitting for victory campaign the Pacific Northwest. It is also important to understand that the idea of Knitting for Victory was not a novel idea. It was a repeat of the Wool Brigades of World War I.
