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.

Bits of War: USS North Carolina-- USS Arizona Memorial-- Last Japanese Soldier to Surrender (1974)
Bits of War.
1. USS NORTH CAROLINA-- The USS North Carolina hosted "Battleship Alive" this past Saturday, April 27. Re-enactors were all over the ship portraying the daily routine of its crew.
2. USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL-- This will remain closed for a second straight Memorial Day because of needed repairs to its dock.
3. LAST JAPANESE SOLDIER TO SURRENDER-- Nakamura Teruno was captured on the Indonesian island of Morotai in December 1974.
