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.

From the February 27, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"DeKalb plant of the California Packing Corporation was one of the six midwestern canneries to awarded the Achievement "A" award of the War Food Administration.
"This is the highest honor paid to members of the food industry as a reward for excellence and cooperation in the war effort in the food processing field."
