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.

Access to USS Arizona Memorial Still Closed in May
From the May 15, 2018, Hawaii News Now "Access to USS Arizona Memorial remains closed as repairs continue.."
These are short term repairs. They are hoping the memorial will reopen by the end of the week.
Tour boats still go by it, but don't let passengers off.
Rhonda Householder had an uncle who died on the Arizona and said, "We're from Ohio, so we're a little disappointed."
Imagine going all the way to Hawaii from the mainland and not being able to visit the memorial.
Authorities are looking for long term solutions to the problem.
