These were certainly generation benchmarks. Everyone alive December 7, 1941, and old enough, remembers where they were when they heard. Just as in my case and generation, the Kennedy assassination in November 1963. And, so, September 11, 2001, as well.
"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11." President Barack Obama.
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.
