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 May 23, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Leo B. Olson, who entered the service on February 5, has been promoted to the rank of corporal according to word received from his by his wife.
"He is in a chemical warfare unit of the air corps and is stationed at Camp Sievert (Camp Sibert), Alabama. he was advertising manager for the DeKalb Agricultural Association before he entered the service."
