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.

Some More On James Sisson of Roanoke, Virginia
I did find in MyLife site the name James Sisson in Roanoke, Virginia, who is/was age 92 and born June 18, 1925. Perhaps this is he.
I also found another entry in the Find-A-Grave site for a Willis James Sisson who served in the U.S. Navy from 1934-1964 and is listed as being a World War II, Korean War and Pearl Harbor survivor. But he was born and died in Washington state, so likely is not the James Sisson I'm looking for.
This man was born 19 March 1913 in Tacoma, Washington and died 20 November 2006 in Washington state. He is buried at Mount Angeles Memorial Park in Washington.
