JUNE 6, 2014, ON THE TOWN: 1944-- "Times Square and vicinity on D-Day. Watching news line on New York Times Building." OWI.
Two sailors are watching the news.
COMMENT: One is in the Coast Guard. The building also has air cooling.

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.
