The last two days I have been writing about female gas station attendants and the new Wayne Gas Pumps before World War II in my RoadDog's Roadlog Blog. This was because of the approaching 70th anniversary of D-Day tomorrow. Worthwhile looking at for you World War II.
Of course, you had to wonder what was going through the minds of the men as they boarded the ships and landing ships off the coast of Normandy 70 years ago? I'm sure more than one wished they were anywhere but there. After all, the Germans had had a good four years to prepare for them.

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.
