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.

Oklahoma Unknowns: Three More Identified-- Calvin and Wilfred Porter and Grant Cook Jr.and
MAY 14, 2019-- Minot (ND) Daily News. The remains of two bothers from Minot have been identified.
Calvin H. Palmer, 23, Seaman 2nd Class
Wilfred D. Palmer, 21, Seaman 2nd Class (Wilferd)
They were buried August 9, 2019 in Port Orchard, Washington.
When I think of the agony of not knowing for this poor family and then their sadness to find that they had lost not just one, but both of the brothers is unfathomable.
MAY 14, 2019-- NTV ABC
Grant Cook Jr., Fireman 1st Class from Cozad, Nebraska. One of 429 who died on the ship. He will be buried at the Punch Bowl in Hawaii.
