Another article I saw at the Keep the Spirit of 45 Alive at McHenry, Illinois' Veterans Park (probably by the McHenry Plaindealer and no date given) was one on a blackout to take place in the city.
I knew they had blackouts along the coasts, especially the Atlantic and Gulf because of the threat from German U-boats and espionage, but was unaware of ones this far inland. I guess there was always the possibility of an air raid.
The war reached everywhere.

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.
