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.

Gathering Scrap for the War Effort
From the September 27, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"George Littlejohn, Franklin Township road commissioner, is chairman of the scrap drive for the rural districts of the township."
Franklin Township is in the northwest corner of DeKalb County.
