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.

Where the Boys Going?
From the Jan. 2, 2017, Roanoke Times, Va., "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Publicity on the number of recruits, their names and destinations was halted by the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps recruiting offices here yesterday, with the explanation that such information was considered a military secret."
