AUGUST 8, 2014-- SCHOOL LUNCH, 1943-- May 1943. Another shot.
Randolph Henry High School is in Charlotte County, Virginia. It gets its name from a combination of the names of John Randolph and Patrick Henry. It opened in 1938 and is still operating.
They have a plaque honoring students who served during World War II.

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.
