November 3, 2012, Hannah Block Historic USO Community Arts Building.
The dedication of a memorial to 248 New Hanover County World War II dead and two medal of Honor recipients was held at the building, located at 120 S. Second Street in Wilmington, N.C..
This was a project of the Wilmington Home Front Heritage Coalition.

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.
