As we are just now four days away from the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
1. 100 TO BE HONORED-- Over 100 Pearl Harbor survivors will be honored for the 75th anniversary of the attack ceremony in Hawaii.
2. JOE TRIOLO TO BE HONORED-- Pearl Harbor survivor Joe Triolo of Des Plaines, Illinois, was on the USS Tangier on December 7, 1941, and is expected to attend the annual Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony December 7 at the Prairie Lake Theater in Des Plaines. He is one of the last surviving men in northern Illinois.
The event is put on by the Sons & daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors.

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.
