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 April 30, 2018, Variety"Mel Gibson asked to direct World War II drama 'Destroyer'" David McNary.
The movie will be based on the book "Hell From Heaven: The Epic Story of the USS Laffey and World War II's Greatest Kamikaze Attack" by John Wukovits.
The Laffey was known as "The Ship That Wouldn't Die."
Mel Gibson directed the movie "Hackshaw Ridge" about the Battle of Okinawa.
