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 Tale of Dog Tags and Dogs in 1943
From the May 16, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Not only are the auto license plates no longer being made of metal but the new dog tags which have been received by DeKalb are being made of some plastic instead of metal as in the past."
And, speaking of dogs.
From the May 23, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Complaints continue to be received at the police station from indignant residents who are working after hours seeking a successful victory garden, but say the work is discouraging, to say the least, due to the number of dogs roaming in the city."
Mutts!! STAY OUT of the Gardens!!! --GreGen
