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.

Welcome Home G.I.s
From the November 14, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945
A large "Welcome Home GIs" billboard was in place at the corner of First Street and the Lincoln Highway in DeKalb.
With stars across the top, it also said "Thanks A Million."
