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.

USS North Carolina's Re-Enactors
From the December 2, 2017, WWAY 3, Wilmington, N.C. "Battleship NC Comes Alive With WW II Re-enactors" Justin McKee.
Re-enactors will be on hand portraying the duties and drills of men who served on the warship and they will also be answering questions.
One woman will be on hand portraying Rosie the Riveter.
This will all be at no extra charge beyond admission.
The event will be called "Battleship Alive" and happens a few times a year. There will be another one in April.
My All-Time Favorite Ship. --GreGen
