From the August 3, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) Looking Back.
1941, 75 years ago.
"The Boy Scouts of DeKalb, members of the six troops in the city, will play a major role in DeKalb's waste aluminum drive to be made this week.
"Every community in the nation will engage in a similar drive this week."
Preparing for War. --GreGen
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.
