From the March 30, 2016, DeKalb County (Illinois) MidWeek "Looking Back."
1941, 75 years ago.
"Army reports on the number and causes of rejections of draftees for physical disability will be used as a guide in intensification of public health work in Illinois, Dr. Robert R. Cross, director of the state department of public health announced this week.
Dental disability is one of the chief causes for the rejection of DeKalb county draftees, the local draft boards report."

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.
