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.

Women's Ambulance Safety Patrol Practices in 1943
From the December 26, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"First aid work supervised by Mrs. Knowlen was begun at the Women's Ambulance Safety Patrol, held Tuesday night at the Armory. It is expected this first aid program will be carried on for the next several weeks, the girls devoting two hours each Tuesday evening to instruction.
"After first aid has been completed and examinations taken, the patrol members then will take up other projects, as well as military drill and discipline."
