From the April 27, 2016 MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1941, 75 years ago.
" A large crowd of parents, sweethearts, wives and well-wishers estimated at more than 300, were present to see sixty-eight DeKalb county young men-- twelve from Sycamore-- the county's selective service draft contingent for April, leave on the Chicago and Great Western special coach this morning at 7:15 o'clock."
Gearing Up for War. --GreGen
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.
