I'm assuming you'ret talking about either WWII or WWI, but it's the same concept. They made sure everybody knew about it. Posters were everywhere letting people know about their fellow Americans in the war and to donate lots of money and supplies.
Hope this helps!!
Juan Ponce de Leon did exploration for SPAIN.
He was comissioned as governor of Puerto Rico by King Ferdinand. In 1513, Ponce de León led the first known European expedition to La Florida. He returned to Spain in 1514 and was knighted by King Ferdinand, who also reinstated him as the governor of Puerto Rico ( he got into problems with Diego Columbus - son of Christopher Columbus- who took away from him the government from Puerto Rico for almost two years) and authorized him to settle Florida
