From the feb. 17, 2016, Boulder City (Nevada) Review by Juan Diego Pergentili.
On February 10, Ansel Tupper, Les Putman, Byron McGinty, Richard Ramsey and Cliff Burks visited the Southern Nevada Veterans Home and the Nevada State Railway Museum. They paid their respects to those who died during World War II at the Southern Nevada Veterans Cemetery.
Boulder City is considered the heart of veteran activity in Nevada.

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.
