1. RAF STATION FOR SALE-- The Neatishead Radar Base, formerly an RAF base during World War II, covering 25 acres and decommissioned since 2006, is for sale on E Bay for a cool 2.5 million pounds.
2. USS ARIZONA BURIALS-- Former crew members of the USS Arizona can have their ashes buried in the battleship. So far, 33 internments have taken place. For a look at what they do, go to You Tube: Eternal Peace.

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.
