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.

An Honor Roll for Methodists Serving in Military As Memorial for Wendell Baie
From the December 5, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"A new service men's and women's honor roll, listing the 200 who serve from the Methodists, will be dedicated at the church Sunday morning.
"This roll is being presented by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Baie and son Warren Baie, as a memorial to their son and brother, Wendell Baie, who was killed in flight a year ago."
