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.

Community Chest and DeKalb County War Fund
From the October 24, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"In the drive for Community Chest and DeKalb County War Fund drive, a slogan has been adopted by Arthur Bergstrand, chairman of Squaw Grove township, which has met with approval of the co-chairmen of the drive and worth passing on.
"Mr. Bergstrand in meeting with his crew of workers says, "An individual could spend much money and do little for boys in service, but through the USO, which greatly benefits from this drive, he can spend little and do much."
