The last post and the next several are from one of the last newspaper articles my mom pulled out of her local paper and saved for me. She died last month and I am at her house now and organizing her stuff. I found this article in a special cubby hole in an old desk where she saved newspaper clippings she thought would be of interest to me.
This article was from the Sunday, June 5, 2016, Goldsboro (N.C.) News-Argus "From My Perch: Dick Borden sailed ocean blue, walked the fields of battle, too" by Sherwood Owl Williford.
I am really thinking about her right now.
Thanks Mom.
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.
