Back on May 1, I wrote about a family in DeKalb, Illinois, who had three sons either in the service or about to enter it back in February 1942. there was also a fourth son who was a year away from going in, and no doubt would have.
They were the Samuel Lund family.
I went to Geneaology Trails and found a list of the DeKalb County men who had died in World War II. It was a long list.
There was no one by the last name Lund listed.
So, they must have all come home.

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.
