"Kilroy Was Here" Sightings page 5

Some time in the early 1940's, someone first scribbled these famous words. We don't know how many millions of times this simple graffiti appeared during WWII or the Korean War but we do know that Kilroy Was Here is still finding it's way on to any vertical surface. These are the sightings from then and that continue now.

Kilroy Spotted on a the banks of the Rhine . . . on the German side in March 1944! You might imagine the trepidation with the assault from all concerned. A night or two before the actual crossing, as my Dad phrased it,"Some crazy SOB crossed the river and painted "Kilroy was here" on the cement wall on the German side of the river!" The men he served with took comfort in that fact. This only part of a loving Tribute, Click the star

Kilroy (all the way from Scotland) at Gallery Night Kevin, visiting Pensacola Downtown during Gallery Night all the way from Scotland, couldn't resist the Graffiti Wall. Guess who he chose — Kilroy, at least the text. A bystander (Greg) along with a 7-year old (Greta) recognized the text and instructed him on the accompanying image. Greta added her name to the masterpiece. Click the image to see it all.

Downtown Pensacola is not your father's downtown. It has a whole new look and is a refreshing, fun place to go. It has been described as "A refreshing blend of historic resolve and cosmopolitan progress defines Downtown Pensacola. Whether you live, work, or play in Pensacola, Downtown holds the key to memory-making experiences." One of it's most fun activities is Gallery Night. "Stroll through the charming brick walkways of Downtown Pensacola to experience an eclectic array of music, art and cuisine. Explore galleries and businesses featuring the works of dozens of local artists. Soak up the sounds of local musicians and the aromas of local cuisine as the energy of the evening carries you from venue to venue. Gallery Night is a free event and many businesses provide light refreshments." The Graffiti Wall "During every 2013 Gallery Night, Pensacola personal injury attorney Joe Zarzaur and his staff invite everyone to visit Romana Street in downtown Pensacola for a chance to create their very own graffiti art. Participants can just grab a paint can and spray their very own work of art on the north wall of the law firm."

Peekie the Rides Again By Karla Sullivan I have a wooden Kilroy pocket pin that I found in my grandmother's jewelry box from the 40s. It's African American. Ever seen one? My grandmother collected all things regarding Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. She also adored Rosie the Riveter. And she worked on an assembly line for Boeing during WWII. My dad test piloted the B52. I think that Kilroy is just in our blood.

Hi Pat, Happy belated Veteren's Day! My name is Dewey Schramm. I live in Quincy, MA about a rocks throw from the old naval shipyard. We've also got a small family run laser engraving company. A few days ago we had someone ask us for something with "Kilroy was here" on it. I knew the story, and went looking around on the internet for a version of the graphic to use. I came across your website and liked your version of it. I created the ornament for the person and off the went. I wanted to give you credit, so I posted a photo of what we did on facebook and linked to your website. If there is something in the wording that you don't like - let me know and I'm happy to modify it. With that said, I will also make it available on our website. I don't expect that it will sell many copies - but one never knows :) If it should sell any, I'd like to make a small donation for each one to a charity of your choice. Is there something you would like to point me at? Thank you for your passion with preserving the Kilroy memory! Dewey Schramm AnythingLaser.com Or Facebook (617) 237-0034
