Bits of the war.
1. RATION YOUR BACON-- From the March 8, 2013 Guardian UK "Unthinkable? Ration you bacon second world war style," editorial.
With obesity rates in the U.K. on the rise it is suggested that amounts of bacon be reduced to what they were during World War II. Bacon rationing in the U.K. didn't end until 1954.
2. SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PEARL HARBOR SURVIVORS-- From the Feb. 16, 2013, Highland (Ind.) Times. The Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, Indiana Chapter 2, met at Michael's Restaurant. www.sdphs.org. I am glad to see an organization carrying on such as this.

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.
