JULY 6, 2014, A PICNIC IN THE PARK: 1942-- July 1942. Washington, D.C.. "A Sunday in Rock Creek Park" by Marjory Collins, Office of War Information (OWI). Life goes on, even in wartime.
JULY 4, 2014, HECK RANCH: 1943-- Feb. 1943, Moreno Valley, New Mexico. "William Heck ranch. Mrs. Heck preparing supper." By John Coller, OWI.
JUNE 27, 2014, FARM TABLE: 1943-- July 1943. "Rockville, Maryland (vicinity). Private Harvey Horton visiting at the N.C. Stiles' dairy farm while on furlough from Fort Belvoir, Virginia, at dinner with the family." By Ann Rosener, OWI. A comment said that Norman Rockwell's "Thanksgiving" painting appeared the same year. Perhaps this photo influenced him?

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
