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.

Just Two USS Arizona Survivors Now & Two New U.S. Nuclear Subs Named For Oklahoma and Arizona
With the death of Donald Stratton, that leaves just two USS Arizona survivors. They are Ken Potts, 98, and Lou Conter, 98.
***********************
The U.S. Navy will name two new nuclear submarines the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma.
