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.

That Horrible Thing Out in Washington


From the August 27, 2013, Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph Herald "Teenage held on $2 million bail in beating death of WWII veteran" by Nicholas K. Geranios, AP.

Demetrius Glenn, a black 16-year-old  is being held on $2 million bond and another black teen, Kenan Adams-Kinard, was arrested in the same case Monday. The two beat 88-year-old World War II veteran Delbert Belton to death in a parking lot at the Eagles Lodge in north Spokane while he was waiting for a friend.

It appears that Belton fought back, which increased the severity of the attack.

Mr. Belton was wounded at the Battle of Okinawa.
