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.

Home On Furlough From Pearl Harbor After the Attack
From the March 6, 2017, Roanoke (Va.) Times "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Although the ship which he was aboard was the first United States vessel attacked by Japanese bombs on the morning of December 7 at Pearl Harbor, James Sisson, ... now home on furlough, said yesterday no one in the ship was injured."
Unfortunately, they didn't mention what ship he was on. I didn't find out any other information on him either.
One Home, Anyway. --GreGen
