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.

Patty Andrews and Sisters Helped Rally the Troops with Voices

From the Jan. 31, 2013, Globe and Mail "With hero sisters, Patty Andrews rallied troops through the Second World War" by Bob Thomas.

Though the Andrews Sisters never served, they certainly supported the Allied War Effort with their wonderful voices.

Patty Andrews was the middle sister, lead singer and chief clown of the group.

Some of their more famous songs:

"I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time"
Their first hit was in 1937 with "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen."
Probably their biggest hit was "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."

In 1940 they were in the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby "Road to Rio" movie.
