Today, i wrote an entry in my History Blog (Cooter's History Thing" about the anticipated blooming of the Japanese cherry trees in Washington DC. They were planted in 1912, marking their 100th anniversary.
The article reported that four of these trees were "mysteriously" cut down three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.
I Wonder How That Happened? --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.
