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.

From the June 16, 2018, WWAY Wilmington, N.C. Justin McKee.
On Saturday, June 16, it was family day at the battleship USS North Carolina in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Along with activities for the kids, there were VIP tours offered with the proceeds going to restoration and education projects.
Food was provided by Trolley Stop Hot Dogs.
Tim Casserly of the NOAA National Marine Sanctuary gave lectures on sunken Herman U-boats off the North Carolina coast.
A free World War II submarine film was shown in the evening.
