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.

"Throw Your Scrap Into the Fight" in 1942
From the August 19, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Throw your scrap into the fight! Although there have been campaigns conducted for the gathering of scrap metals and rubber, a crisis exists in the United States war production program unless more of these vital materials can be secured.
"The only way that the problem can be solved is for the American people to cooperate fully, and this means the people in DeKalb County as well."
