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.

Some More On James Wines, "Devil's Brigade"

From the Feb. 10th Helena (Mt) Independent Record.

The Devil's Brigade was the forerunner of military groups like the Army Green Berets and Navy Seals.

Some, 2,200 men arrived in Helena to become members of the new group. James Wines was from Kansas. While training, he met his wife, Dora, and married her before shipping off to war. They were married for 50 years.

The other two Montana survivors of the Devil's Brigade are Joe Glass and Mark Radcliffe, both of Helena.

The Greatest generation. --GreGen
