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.

DeKalb's on the Battlefront?


From the May 13, 2020, MidWeek  (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"DeKalb yesterday was characterized  as a unit on the battlefront which could be depended upon to  hold its position and advance under orders.

"The comparison was made by Major General Frank Parker, executive director of the Illinois War Council."

I've never heard of the Illinois War Council.  I imagine this was a big compliment.
