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.

From the April 3, 2017, Roanoke (Va.) Times "Looking Back."

"Finally free from complicated entangling restrictions, six new automobiles, specifically built for police work, were delivered to the Roanoke police department after approval certificates by the city rationing board."
