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.

World War II Veterans Disband POW Group-- Part 1

From the Nov. 23, 2012 (West Virginia) News and Sentinel by Sam Shawver.

Only around 1.5 million of the 16 million World War II veterans remain with some 680 dying every day.

The Local Prisoners of War Chapter 15 is disbanding after 16 years, a monthly gathering meeting since 1996.  It is a part of the national Prisoner of War group.  They originally had 20-25 members and were known as the Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter.
