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.

Repairs to USS Arizona Memorial Dock Delayed
From the February 28, 2019, U.S. News & World Report.
Officials are now saying that public access to the memorial will not be restored in March as had been expected. The National Park Service suspended trips to the memorial in early May after damage was found to the floating dock by which visitors leave the tour boat to go to the memorial.
It is expected that a contract for the repairs will be awarded in March. In the meantime, harbor tours will pass near the memorial.
