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.

Sycamore Honor Roll To Be Posted At Park in 1944
From the February 27, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Sycamore's uptown park, at the corner of State and Sacramento Streets, will be the site of the honor roll for veterans of World War II.
"This large monument in honor of the men and women who are serving or who have served in the present World War will be the gift to the city by seven patriotic organizations of the Sycamore Elks, Moose, the American Legion, Masonic order, Odd Fellows, Vikings and the Sycamore Sportsmen's club."
