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.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Nursing Shortages Hit the Home Front
From the January 2, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Through the activities of the DeKalb Chapter of the American Red Cross, arrangements are rapidly being completed to make available another course in Home Nursing for the women of this community.
"The course is of particular value at this time when a shortage of nurses throws the responsibility of caring for the ill upon those in the home. The aim of the Red Cross is to have at least one person trained in the care of the sick in every home."
