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.

A Huge Flag Pole and Flag for Sycamore Anaconda


From the September 12, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1943, 75 Years Ago.

"The south mill of the Sycamore Anaconda is a genuine 100% war industry.  A new 60-foot,  steel flag pole was installed there.  A flag will adorn the pole early next week.

"It must be set in concrete a few days before being vibrated by Old Glory waving in the breezes.  Installation of the pole created major interest for war workers at the mill.  Already they  express a feeling of pride over it."
