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.

Save That Kitchen Fat for the A.A. Guns
From the August 22, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"If each household in DeKalb county saved one teaspoon of waste fat for a year it would provide enough glycerin to make 458,496 anti-aircraft shells."
Do Your Part, Save That Fat. --GreGen
