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.

To Make a Long Story Short
Back on the 14th, I wrote about the newly-found love letters from a couple living in Muskegon during the war. I started doing more research and that ended up taking a good three hours, which explains a difficulty with all my blogs. //// I start off with an article and as I dig deeper, it gets more and mopre interesting. As I already said, I had heard of Muskegon, Michigan, but had no idea about even where it was located, much less its role in World War II. //// What I found was a city whose experiences were much like those of Wilmington, NC, and almost on as big a stage as that southern town, other than fewer, if any, military bases and the shipbuilding, but from what I found out, it could easily be America's second World War II City in the future. //// --GreGen
