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.

FDR's D-Day Prayer
From the June 6, 2019, Chicago Tribune editorial page.
"And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons, Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled.
"Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose."
