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.

Three Days to D-Day +75 Years
Today is three days from D-Day, plus 75 years. Three quarters of a century. The youngest of the Allies storming Fortress Europe that day would be 93 now, if they were 18 at the time.
Hoping people will be putting their flags out to commemorate it. What those men faced, going up the famed Atlantic Wall of the Germans had to have been frightening, but on they came, and as you're reading in this blog, jumping into it.
I will write about D-Day in all my blogs June 6.
The Greatest Generation. --GreGen
