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.

Last of Seven Illinois Brothers Dies-- Part 2

While George Powell was proud of his military service, he rarely discussed it..  he was a naval aviation mechanic serving in the Pacific.  None of his brothers talked about it much either.Nephew Jim Powell said, "They didn't dwell on their service.  They just came back, went to work and raised their families."
