The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Coronavirus and the World War II Veterans


The "V" seems to especially target our dwindling number of World War II veterans since they are all in their 90s and 100s and most all have those underlining situations.

Here are some stories about them:

**  April 13:  99-year-old veteran beat COVID-19.  Albert Chambers turn 100 this July and was in the English Army during WW II and spent three years as a POW.

April 13:  Alan Camaron celebrated his 101st birthday with social distancing.  One of 1.3 million soldiers passing through Camp Shanks in Orangeburg, known as "Last Stop USA" before heading to France and later serving in Germany after the war.

April 13:  94-year-old Seymour Perlmutter released from Long Island hospital Saturday after beating COVID-19.  Admitted April 4 and said he'd beat it.

He Did.  --GreGen
