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.

Birthday Parade Held for Bob Doolan, 104

March 21, 2021, WKRC (Hey, that's almost good ol' WKRP) Cincinnati.

Sunday, a parade was held for local World War II veteran and prison camp survivor Bob Doolan, who turned 104.

Drivers lines up to pass by and honor him.

Doolan served as a navigator on a B-17 bomber and rose to the rank of  first lieutenant in 1943.

He was captured after being shot down over Holland and spent the next two years in a POW camp before being freed  by Allied troops.
