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.

Santa's Coming to Town in 1944, Buy Your War Bonds, Kids
From the Nov. 27, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back"
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Santa Claus arrived in DeKalb on Saturday to assist the DeKalb merchants in selling war bonds and his trip to the city was a huge success as he was greeted by a large group of at the DeKalb Trust and Savings Bank, both in the morning and afternoon.
"Children are being encouraged to buy binds from Santa and to exchange their war stamp books for bonds."
Never Hurts to get In Good With Santa, You Know. --GreGen
