Bits of War
1. From 10-2-12 Sacramento (Ca) Bee-- LST-325 RUNS AGROUND-- The World War II ship LST-325 was in the Cumberland River on its way back to home port in Evansville, Indiana, nine miles from the Lake Barkley Lock and Dam. There were no reports of damage and it is expected it will be able to get off.
2. LANE INTERRED ON USS ARIZONA-- From the 10-2-12 CNIC//Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam--Glenn Lane was one of the USS Arizona's survivors that day and went on to serve 30 years in the military and in three wars. He died Dec. 10, 2011, just 70 years and three days after the attack nearly 70 years to the day. His ashes were interred Sept. 12th on his ship on which he had been a seaplane radioman.

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.
