We're heading for this Sunday's Go-Daddy Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, between the Arkansas State Red Wolves and our team, the Northern Illinois Huskies. Both teams have won ten games and both are conference champs, Sun Belt and MAC. Should be a good game.
We've got some down-time during the day so thinking of touring the battleship USS Alabama that is a permanent World War II Memorial in Mobile Bay.
Now, That's Some WW II History. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
