Charlotte Gaffe Journalist / Volunteer / Victim
A journalist for the "The Spectator," Charlotte is a thoroughly unlikeable person. Much to everyone's disappointment, Lotta is this year's "Volunteer America!" Volunteer of the Year as she not only worked tirelessly to create recruitment posters which inspired many young Americans to enlist, but she also volunteered to work on the front, sorting and distributing mail for the Canadian and American troops.

Gerald Glin The Farmer / Caretaker
Gerald and his wife and four children live on a farm outside of town. People in town find him slightly odd as he works on the Church grounds and cemetery. When the USA declared war on Germany and Japan, Gerald refused to sign up even though nearly every one in town did. He is a conscientious objector.

Marlene De Trique The Bomb Shell
Marlene's mysterious background and German accent are the subject of much of the town's gossip these days. No one has really worked out where she's from nor when she first came to town. No matter, she's a regular at the "Volunteer! Ladies' Luncheons" and no one could find fault in her fight on the home front, except perhaps for her extravagant wardrobe.

Paul E. Tischan The Guest of Honor
A retired Admiral and highly respected member of Congress, Mr. Tischan is well used to, and indeed seems to soak up, the spotlight. He is the Guest of Honor this evening and has been asked to present this year's "Volunteer of the Year" award to an outstanding citizen for their contribution to the war effort. If only he would stop talking...

Samantha Heriton The Nurse
Samantha, Sam for short, is a trained nurse who volunteers at the veteran's hospital. She's a mystery to the men she cares for; while she is patient and kind, everything that could be called good to come out this war, she is as stiff as the starch in her neat white cap.

Walter Wingfield The Pilot
Having served as well in the Great War, Walter is proud of his war record and boasts about it all the time. Currently, he is training new pilots here at home. While he wishes he were flying with the boys in Britain, he knows he is still contributing to the war effort.
