I expect the city will do just that and soon. This would be too bad, as I really like this town with Bourbon Street and all that great music and food. I would also like to go to the National World War II Museum which I have been writing about a great project they are undertaking.
However, if those statues come down, I might have to show my displeasure at the horrible thing they have done to my heritage by organizing my own little boycott. Now, I know that just one person counts for little in the grand scheme of things, but it would be something I would have to do.
My Civil War Round Table group is planning a trip there in a few months to look at sites, but I haven't signed up for it while waiting to see what the city does.

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.
