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.

Some More On the Palmer Boys Who Died on the USS Oklahoma-- Part 4
Senator John Hoeven, on the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee, said: "We are grateful that the Palmer brothers, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation at Pearl Harbor, have now been accounted for. These brave brothers who perished along with 427 others on the USS Oklahoma during the attacks on Pearl harbor, remind us once again of the of the bravery and sacrifices our nation's Greatest generation."
Plans are for the brothers to be buried in early August in Port Orchard, where other family members and their friend from the USS Oklahoma, Charles Burns (and her father) are buried, Helene Jensen said.
