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.

Keeping the Spirit of 45 Alive-- Part 2: Especially With My New-Found Interest In the War


Sunday was quite a busy day for me.

After visiting the Rally By the Lake classic car show in Fox Lake and watching New Odyssey play at the St. John's Parish Fest in Johnsburg, I drove over to McHenry for the "Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive" commemoration.

I had just found out about it last week and friend Jerry had also mentioned it. Since I have gotten very interested in World War II, especially since starting this blog, I knew I had to attend to honor The Greatest Generation.
