This blog began primarily because of the 70th anniversary of World War II. It is so sad to see that generation dying off as fast as they are. Growing up, there were always World War II veterans around. Many of my parents' friends were veterans as was my uncle Delbert on my dad's side (survived the Battle of the Bulge with the 101st).
Even though the war has ended, I will continue this blog longer,the same as I am doing with my War of 1812 blog.
I've Gotten Very Interested in This History. --GreGen (Greatest Generation)
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.
