While George Powell was proud of his military service, he rarely discussed it.. he was a naval aviation mechanic serving in the Pacific. None of his brothers talked about it much either.Nephew Jim Powell said, "They didn't dwell on their service. They just came back, went to work and raised their families."

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.
