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.

The USS Indianapolis' Last Survivor
The January 2018 Columbia Daily Tribune said that Gerald Melbourne Poor is the last surviving member of the crew of the tragic USS Indianapolis.
When we go to the Indy 500, we park the RV at the American Legion Post 500 across from the IMS and they have a picture of the doomed ship on the wall.
