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.

Turner Brass Works Gets the "E" Pennant
From the December 5, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"In his speech of presentation of the 'E' pennant to the Turner Brass Works in appropriate ceremonies at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, Major James A. McBride, Sr., told the audience of nearly 1,000 workers and guests there were two great forces engaged in winning the war.
"One is the fighting force, and the other is the production force. Each is dependent on the other and our success here insures their success there."
Turner Brass Works was located in Sycamore, Illinois.
Production Matters Too. --GreGen
