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.

Cherry Trees in D.C. a Victim of War Fever

Today, i wrote an entry in my History Blog (Cooter's History Thing" about the anticipated blooming of the Japanese cherry trees in Washington DC. They were planted in 1912, marking their 100th anniversary.

The article reported that four of these trees were "mysteriously" cut down three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.
