The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive-- Part 1: Biggest Event in the Country
From the August 14, 2017, Northwest Herald (McHenry County, Illinois) "Hundreds commemorate end of WW II with veterans event" by Katie Finlon.
Hundreds were in attendance at the 8th annual "Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive" event Sunday at Veterans Park in McHenry, Illinois.
More than a dozen of the Greatest Generation attended the event. Ronnie Reber, past commander of the McHenry Veterans of Foreign Wars said the event here in McHenry draws more people than all the other "Spirit of '45" events in the country.
His group, the Polish Legion of American Veterans and the American Legion host the event.
