From the Encyclopedia of North Carolina.
North Carolinians also served in the Fourth and Eighteenth Infantry Divisions. Soldiers in the Fourth were the first Americans to enter Paris after liberation. The Eighteenth liberated many German concentration camps.
The Sixty-fifth General Hospital in England was sponsored by Duke University in Durham.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
