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.

Camp Sibert Cleanup 2008-2009
On March 28, 2019, I wrote about Camp Sibert in Alabama, where chemical weapons were developed and tested. All those chemical weapons and a good chance there might be pollution of a dangerous sort.
Waymarking continued.
The Army Corps of Engineers completed remediation of "Range 30" sire during 2008-2009 to remove used live mortar shells containing possible chemical agents of:"
mustard gas
phosgene
white phosporus
tearing agents
chemical smoke (sulfur trioxide & chlorosulfonic acid solution)
This effort also involved a Segway Robotic Mobility Platform.
