In Memory Of Dr. Seuss (Tribute To Theodor Seuss Geisel)


“Theodor Seuss Geisel (“Ted”) was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts.”
During the World War 2 time period he wrote approximately 3-5 political cartoons that were very urgent. He submitted them each week to PM Magazine, over a short time period he was considered to be a permanent liberal (open-minded) supplier of the magazine. However, Ted wanted to contribute more to the war than just political cartoons on a permanent bases.
When he made the decision to be more involved in the war, he was 38, already too old to draft (in the war) , he wanted a commission (payment) for naval intelligence.
*Meaning he wanted to give money to the war because he couldn’t give his service. So sort-of-like donating to a charity, except he was donating to War.
