WWII Monday Round-Up
Good Monday morning everyone! We have a nice little collection of “left overs” to start the week. (The two stories about the impact of the war on California would appear to be good companions to the upcoming Ken Burns series on the war.)
- World War II Ace Rarely Spoke of Heroic Acts from the Courier-Post Online: A touching story of what a brother and sister learned about their father, a retired one-star Air Force general, after his death.
- The Lasting Impact of World War II on California from News Blaze: Announcement of a documentary produced by KCET Los Angles to air in conjunction with Ken Burns “The War.”
- For a related piece on the impact of the war on California, see “World War II Created Industrial, Cultural Revolution in Bay Area” from the San Francisco Chronicle
- Medals Given to World War II Veterans from Newsday.com: More than 60 years after the deeds for which they were recognized, two veterans received long overdue recognition on September 14.
- Former Crew Bids Farewell to Its World War II Captain from the Quincy Herald-Whig: I find these stories of comrades bidding one another farewell incredibly moving. This is the account of men who served under Capt. William G. Grote on the USS Tinsman during World War II attending their commander’s funeral.
