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.

Plans for the End of WW II in Europe Already in DeKalb County in 1945

From the April 8, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back"

1945, 75 Years Ago

"Arrangements were made some time ago by the Ministerial Alliance for holding a united service of thanksgiving and praise when the announcement has been received that the hostilities have ceased in Europe.

"The services will be held at  the First Lutheran Church and all ministers of the community have been invited to participate.  Singing of hymns of praise and thanksgiving and prayers of  gratitude for the ending of this one phase of the war will take place.

"The retailers also have a Victory Day schedule which will be followed by the closing of the stores."
