March 23, 2016, GOOD FOR LIFE: 1942.
July 1942, "Nyssa, Oregon, Farm Security Administration mobile camp. Soda pop is delivered at the camp for Japanese-Americans." Russsell Lee, OWI There are those old wooden crates of Dr. Pepper bottles and they are picking up empties. A sign says "Drink Dr. Pepper: Good for Life."
Not one of our prouder moments, but understandable under the circumstances.

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.
