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.

Bits of War: Ration Your Bacon-- Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors

Bits of the war.

1.  RATION YOUR BACON--  From the March 8, 2013 Guardian UK "Unthinkable? Ration you bacon second world war style," editorial.

With obesity rates in the U.K. on the rise it is suggested that amounts of bacon be reduced to what they were during World War II.  Bacon rationing in the U.K. didn't end until 1954.

2.  SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PEARL HARBOR SURVIVORS--  From the Feb. 16, 2013, Highland (Ind.) Times.  The Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, Indiana Chapter 2, met at Michael's Restaurant.  www.sdphs.org.  I am glad to see an organization carrying on such as this.
