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.

Hunters Turn In Their Shells
From the December 27, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Within the last week or two, many hunters have responded to the plea of the Sportsmen's club to return the empty shell cases to the depository at the Wylde store.
"The rabbit hunters, it has been reported, have been thoughtful and have returned nearly all they cases they used. The shells are wanted by the government."
Even Hunters In On War Effort. --GreGen
