Cleveland County, North Carolina, selflessly gave to World War II,
with 6,500 people--more than 11% of the county's population at that
time--taking part in the conflict. This rural county, which
contributed almost double its share of service personnel, lost 190
fine young men--almost five times the expected casualties for a
North Carolina county. Cleveland County residents participated in
most significant engagements of the war, in every imaginable
capacity, and in every branch of service--from the infantrymen, to
the sailors, to the airmen, to the marines. At home, window banners
displayed blue stars for each family member serving and gold stars
for those who made the supreme sacrifice.
