This doesn't even begin to mention the American personnel who were in the Merchant Marine who brought supplies to England to enable them to stay in the fight. Many of them battled and died fighting against U-boats and sea raiders. There is of course the Lend Lease program as well.

A great deal of this was before America " Officially " entered the war.
That's true, you did the best you could but the likes of the 'America First' movement really didn't help.
