Victory Bonds
Patriotic war investments
Victory Bonds were government-issued debt securities sold to citizens to finance military operations, especially during the World Wars.
Buying them was promoted as a patriotic duty—a way for civilians to support troops abroad.
The bonds paid modest interest and matured years later: My grandfather kept his Victory Bonds in a lockbox until they came due.
