DARE COUNTY
World War II -
1941-45
This book is issued in the hope that the citizens of Dare County and beyond may be reminded of the large and worthy role that our men and
women have played in World War II. We also
desire to express, in some measure, our sense of
apprecia~ion,
honor, and esteem to those who
served our country to. preserve our freedom and
way of life. Finally, we breathe the prayer that
these shall not have served and sacrificed in
vain, but that out of the agony of war an abiding peace will come for all mankind.

Scene from Paul Green's "Lost Colony"
Dare County holds a unique place in American history as
the spot of the first English settlement in the new world
and as the birthplace of the first child of England parents.
But for the heroic explorations made possible here by Sir
Walter Raleigh and his associates, the story of the founding
and freeing of our land from the Indians and wilderness,
would have been quite different.
"The story of America is largely a record of that spirit of
adventure," said the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who witnessed the pageant of the Lost Colony on Roanoke
Island in 1937. "Our heritage is the fruition of their brave
endeavor," he continued.
The re-enactment of these early beginnings in
Paul Green's drama of the Lost Colony, has attracted throngs of people' to Dare County and
spread the tidings of this section to the far ends
'of the earth. The county was scarcely known and
little populated until the celebration of this "first
event" on this continent.

OUR HONOR ROLL
***
"Lest We Forget"
The spirit of heroism did not perish with the
early settlers. Daring, courage, initiative, and
skill were exemplified by our service personnel.
Dare County men and women were represented
in the various branches of our war effort, and
some distinguished themselves in playing a gallant role in the global struggle.
Dare County, though small in population as
compared with some counties, had approximately 1,000 of its sons and daughters in the service
during the war years, and the county is believed
to have been one of the best represented areas in
the country in proportion to the number of inhabitants.
They served and sacrificed that we might have
a better and brighter world. This booklet is issued lest we should forget, and to remind us
that we should be eternally grateful for the
worthy deeds of Dare County youths.

The old lighthouse at Hatteras is one of the
tallest in the world. For many years it guided
ships from the treacherous Diamond Shoals,
"Graveyard of the Atlantic."
Destiny has favored Dare County in many
ways, and our soil and seashores hold a number
of first places. The first flight in aheavier-thanair, power driven plane was made by Orville and
Wilbur Wright at Kill Devil Hill, Dec. 17, 1903.
Nags Head and Manteo are becoming increasingly popular with tourists who enjoy the pleasures of surf-bathing, swimming, boating, and'
gliding in sail-crafts, or pursuing their nautical
hobbies.
The sharp bark of the hunting rifle and the
booming sound of the shotgun are familiar
sounds in our area, where migratory waterfowl
abound.
THE COAST GUARD

Sport fishing is a favorite recreation in the
county, and chartered boats and guides are available. Off-shore waters are famed for dolphin,
amberjack, tuna, channel bass, blues, wahoo,
bonito, cero, and smaller game fish. A 593Yzpound blue marlin was caught off Hatteras in
1939. Here the Gulf Stream comes near and big
game fishing is done.
Commercial fishing is the principal industry of
the county. More than 10,000,000 pounds of fish
are sold annually, according to a report of the
State Department of Conservation and Development. In 1945, one wholesale dealer handled 54,000 pounds in a single day, at Manteo, the County Seat, he reported.
The boat and shipbuilding, and repair business
has been considerable in the county. And Dare
County is said .to have 34,000 board feet of
cypress.
the seashore, was greatly expanded during the
war years.
The Beach Stations were buzzing
with activity and the augmented personell considerably swelled the business of the county.
Embattled vessels and storm-weary craft were
rescued and lives were saved. Besides the regular duties of the Coast Guard, services were
often given civilians whose cars and trucks were
stuck fast in the sand, and the rocking ferry at
Oregon Inlet has been helped to limp across the
rough seas by the ('oast Guard.
A
PRAYER
***
Manteo Air Base
***
The Naval Air Base, which was located near
Manteo during the war, brought hundreds of enlisted men to our community. Numerous pilots
received their training here before they were sent
to combat areas. The development o.,nd maintenance of the base, the presence of the service
personnel, including many families of the Navy
men, meant a temporary boom to Manteo.
God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempest rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might!
For her our prayer shall rise,
To God, above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guiding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
Not for this land alone,
But be God's mercies shown
From shore to shore;
And may the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide world o'er.
Mahlmann and Hickson
