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.

Trucks From Distant Cities Helping Haul the Peas
From the July 4, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Observation along the highway disclosed that many truckers are making extra money hauling peas for the California Packing Company.
"The need of trucks is almost as great as that for man-power, and machines are seen here from cities a long distance from DeKalb."
Wartime Shortages. --GreGen
