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.

Pearl Harbor News: A Death and An Identification
March 2019
** Dorwin Lamkin, 96, died March 17, 2019. He was a corpsman on the USS Nevada and later served on the USS San Francisco.
** The remains of Angelo Gabriele, Fireman 1st Class, 21, were identified. He was one of 106 who died on board the USS West Virginia in the attack on Pearl Harbor December, 7, 1941.
The military are not just looking to identify the remains of the USS Oklahoma sailors.
