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."

"They are being sent to help relieve the shortage in farm labor and further aid to farmers was also promised by the commission.
