From the June 8, 2016, Midweek (for DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

"So urgent has the demand for material aid for the war sufferers in Europe been that the American Red Cross has continued its campaign for funding a house to house canvass of Sycamore was begun and will be continued throughout the week."
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.
