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.

Underwood Family Mourns Second Son
From the June 23, 1944, Sycamore True Republican.
Pair of Gold Stars Added To Our Honor Roll.
Glenn Underwood and Ervin Burkart Taken.(I'll write more about Ervin Burkart later.)
Mr. and Mrs. Don O. Underwood were informed that their son, Corporal Glenn C. Underwood was killed in Italy on June 1. He is the second son of the Underwoods who has made the supreme sacrifice during the present war.
Evidently, since the other two sons were not listed on the DeKalb casualty list, they made it home.
