Hoping to see this movie today or later this week. I have a lot of movies to catch up on after returning from the 19 day Gulf Coast Trip yesterday.
It was kind of neat that I was by Eglin Air Force Base about 70 years after Doolittle's Raiders trained there as well as by Keesler AFB by Biloxi which had a prominent role in the history of the Red Tails.
Of course, the next time down, we'll stop by the World War II Museum in New Orleans, which started off as the D-Day Museum back when we there in 1995.
Lots of War on the Coasts. --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.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
