Kilroy Was Here

A drawing of a turtle on a concrete surface with words written around it, including 'KILROY', 'VANDAL', and 'WATER'.

In Honor Of Kilroy

Wherever American troops went during both WWII

and the Korean War, a bald, bulbous nosed character

seemed to arrive first and leave a greeting,

“Kilroy was here.”

He even convinced Hitler and Mussolini he was

a top-ranking spy they could never catch.

“Kilroy was here” represented the presence, camaraderie and shared experiences of

American soldiers during both wars and even today. The spirit of Kilroy is alive and well.

One never knows where he can be found!
