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.

Looking Back to August 1941: Looking for World War I Vets

From the August 24, 2016 MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back.:

1941, 75 years ago:  "Members of the old 'A' Company that fought in World War No. 1 and who reside in this area are urged to write to other members whose addresses they know and tell them that the annual company reunion and picnic is to be held in August.

"It will be held at Annie's Woods in DeKalb."

Kind of interesting to see how they were referring to the Great War now that there was another one going on in Europe.  I wonder if it was already being called World War II?
