Paul:
An interesting bit of history once again came to light on the World Wide Web. A simple item but important one that a group of Ocean Grove Civil Defense folks wore during World War II is a badge to identify all involved. These “Minute Men” were simply to patrol the ocean front and guard against every infiltrator that might come ashore. There were real concerns offshore, especially with enemy submarines.
This upcoming year 2015 will mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and you still have to wonder: war, what is it good for? I do not want an answer!
