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.

Even Ducks Getting Into War Effort
From the April 4, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Even ducks are becoming interested in war work. At least that is the impression gained by Mrs. Walter Joslin of north west DeKalb, who found a duck egg, bearing a perfect "V," which under present circumstances means only one thing, "V for Victory."
"The "V" in the duck egg is formed in a lighter color and is about three-eighths of an inch high. The egg is being displayed at the Quality Feed and Supply Store at the present time.?
Thanks Winston.
