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.

Shorpy's Home Front: Heavy Milk and Cream Truck
From Jan. 7, 2015, Shorpy Photos "Marin-Dell dairy truck, San Francisco: 1945. Photo shows a big truck for the company. Marin-Dell Milk & Cream. Truck is in front of a building with a big milk bottle with name, logo and the words "Sold Only At Independent Stores."
Marin-Dell was a San Francisco-based company.
Even at war, the U.S. had to get milk and cream to families.
