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.

A Pearl Harbor Survivor Dies at 101: Alton Lee Stone
ALTON LEE STONE, 101
Died July 19, 2018, 4 days short of his 102nd birthday in Monroe, North Carolina. He was born July 23, 1916, and grew up in Broadway, N.C..
He and his younger brother James joined the Navy and both survived Pearl Harbor.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out any specifics about their experiences or where they were during the attack.
