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.

A Huge Flag Pole and Flag for Sycamore Anaconda
From the September 12, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"The south mill of the Sycamore Anaconda is a genuine 100% war industry. A new 60-foot, steel flag pole was installed there. A flag will adorn the pole early next week.
"It must be set in concrete a few days before being vibrated by Old Glory waving in the breezes. Installation of the pole created major interest for war workers at the mill. Already they express a feeling of pride over it."
