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.

Tomorrow Is the 76th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor
It was the "Event" of the Greatest Generation, much like the Kennedy Assassination was to my generation. It is even more important as we continue to lose the Pearl Harbor survivors as fast as we are (and the World War II survivors for that matter).
In commemoration of it, all seven of my blogs will be about it.
I also am looking to find out if there are any Pearl Harbor events planned for the McHenry and Lake County part of Northeastern Illinois. So far, sadly, I haven't found any.
My U.S. flags will be flying in remembrance tomorrow.
