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.

Claborn Begley, a Follow Up
I was wondering whether Claborn Begley survived the war. One source I found for US Navy deaths in World War II didn't list him, so I have to figure he did.
The Tin Can Sailors entry has a list of the Reuben James' crew at the destroyers.com site.
Behind his name is a comment: "My Grandpa was a Hero. Why isn't he mentioned anywhere?"
