Dick Borden has finally gotten back on a Navy ship and is mighty happy to be back with his own folks. Unfortunately, this was only a few days before D-Day, so all that didn't last long.
" They were mighty nice to us aboard ship. We ate with Ship's crew and were able to buy ice cream at their Ship's Service. We were in the Navy again-- well, for a day or so at least."
We All Scream for.... --GreGen
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.
