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.

Get Patriotic and Start That Victory Garden in Sycamore in 1945
From the April 22, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"If Mr. and Mrs. Sycamore and all the little Sycamores wish to enjoy the many vegetables this coming year as they have in the past -- there is but one opportunity -- to raise a Victory Garden.
"Ultimatums are being issued daily by the United States Agriculture Department and other agencies in Washington, D.C., that the food situation this coming year will be acute. More food will be required for the armed forces as they are making the last dash for Berlin -- and then on to Tokyo."
