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.

Hoist One in Red's Memory
Red Madsen, who I wrote about in my last two posts yesterday, was just a regular guy who got caught up in a huge event. He managed to come through and live a great life.
I really enjoyed what his daughter listed you should do in order to honor him:
** Hoist one
** Over tip a waitress
** Give a bum money
** Make a fool of yourself
** Make a child laugh
** Feed the hungry
** Don't worry
Good words to love by in life as well.
I'll Definitely Hoist One in Red's Memory. --GreGen
