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.

World War II Marines At the USMC Birthday Breakfast Yesterday
Today marks the 238th birthday of one of America's best fighting forces, the United States Marines. Yesterday, I attended the Tom Grosvenor Memorial Marine Corps Bithday Breakfast in Fox Lake, Illinois. We had six World War II Marines in attendance, including one woman, most doing quite well healthwise. I'll be writing more about it here in the next week. Happy 238th, USMC. --GreGen
