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.

Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive-- Part 8: The Greatest Generation
The main speaker opened the ceremony with the remark that it is important to keep the ideals and fortitude of The Greatest Generation alive and not to forget the sacrifices they made in the Great Depression and World War II.
Case in point was the closing of American embassies for fear of terrorist attack, something that he (and I) felt was unnecessary. Essentially, if you're dumb enough to attack us, be prepared for dire consequences. Just look at what happened to Japan after Pearl Harbor.
Again, excuse the short entries, but I still can not get the compose button to work on the blog and so can not do any paragraphs and I hate really long paragraphs.
The Greatest Generation is why I sign off with GreGen, short for it.
A Great Ceremony. --GreGen
