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.

Baby Got a New Pair of Shoes in 1945
From the April 29, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"Everyone can have a new pair of rationed shoes August 1, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) announced today.
"OPA said a new shoe ration stamp would become valid at that time for one pair of shoes for each ration book holder."
Wondering if that one pair for each person in a household or just one pair per household.
These Boots Were Made for Walking. --GreGen
