-  * November 24-25: When a locket in an old cemetery in Philadelphia is opened, the spirit of the girl who died in 1777 is released and reborn as **[[Usa the Spirit of Old Glory]]** according to an old prophecy. Usa uses her mystical flag and the torch of liberty (or torch of freedom) against all evildoers, and is alerted to danger whenever her flag droops. In her first case, she stops a female teacher from indoctrinating American children with Nazi propaganda, and shows her the error of her ways by mystically flying her over Nazi Germany to witness the ruin and destruction of the nation and its leader, Adolf Hitler. She later rescues the teacher after Nazi spies seek to kill her for deserting their cause. The next day, Usa saves President Franklin Delano Roosevelt from a Nazi bomb threat as he visits a munitions plant, then saves the SS Althea from being destroyed by saboteurs, instead ensuring that the Axis mastermind behind all these plots, Otto Fluger, is killed by his own explosives. //Note: Usa is unable to act against anyone hiding behind the U.S. flag.// ["Introducing Usa, the Spirit of Old Glory," Feature Comics #42 (March, 1941)]
