	War bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		War bonds were a form of savings bond used by many combatant nations to help fund World War I and World War II.

		The original war bonds were, of course, introduced during World War II, when the nation was mobilized for total war.
		War bonds made sense in this context: they were a substitute for consumer spending, releasing resources for a war effort that absorbed almost 40 percent of G.D.P. Our current situation could hardly be more different.
		So people who buy war bonds will be doing no more for their country than people who choose postage stamps with a patriotic theme.

		War Bonds actually became the Series E bonds of my childhood.
		So I suggest you all take a look for those old bonds you or your family members may still have put away, since they may not be gaining in value anymore.(Those held beyond maturity actually paid more than face value).
		By the way, unless you cashed in bonds during their first 6 months, you didn't lose interest, you just didn't get the face value at maturity.
