Kyle continued, "Interacting with veterans helps us in what we are trying to portray. My grandfather, a Pearl Harbor survivor, never really talked about it. I regret I never sat down and picked his brain about it, but by the time I was older, he had Alzheimer's disease."
If you're interesting in watching a World War II re-enactment, it is not too late this year. The Battle of the Bulge, the last great offensive of the German Army in the war, will be re-enacted at Sommer Park in Peoria by the Central Illinois WWII Reenactors.

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.
