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.

Did War Work in Both World Wars
From the April 25, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 100 Years Ago.
"His activity this year will mean an important help in the war work.
"During the last war, Mr. Eckhardt held the vital post of corn administrator for Illinois and had supervision over the state's huge effort in supplying this vital crop."
Both wars. --GreGen
