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.

ZESTFULLY CLEAN: 1943.

Comments:
Arlington Farms had various uses after the war before being razed in the 1960s and is now part of Arlington National Cemetery.
During the war, Arlington Farms was a major attraction for male military members for some reason.
A Lot of Women. --GreGen
