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.

Flying Old Glory in Sycamore in 1944
From the February 20, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"By using some old material found at the Sycamore Preserve Works, the place now has a flag pole and Old Glory floats in the breeze each day at the canning plant.
"J.W. Thuma has been endeavoring to erect a flag pole at the plant for some time but priorities on piping made it impossible, until some boys employed there rigged up one that will answer the purpose until the war is over."
