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.

New Scrap Drive Flag Hoisted Over Court House in Sycamore in 1943
From the May 2, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Without the standard awarded by the country for the successful scrap drive, which has been practically destroyed by the storms and wind, the court house was flying a new United States flag and it is a far prettier sight than the old one that was removed and burned.
"The scrap drive award flag was ruined and destroyed."
So, if your county had a successful scrap drive it would get a U.S. flag. This flag was flown over the DeKalb County Court House in Sycamore, Illinois.
