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.

Keeping the Spirit of 45 Alive-- Part 2: Especially With My New-Found Interest In the War
Sunday was quite a busy day for me.
After visiting the Rally By the Lake classic car show in Fox Lake and watching New Odyssey play at the St. John's Parish Fest in Johnsburg, I drove over to McHenry for the "Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive" commemoration.
I had just found out about it last week and friend Jerry had also mentioned it. Since I have gotten very interested in World War II, especially since starting this blog, I knew I had to attend to honor The Greatest Generation.
