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.

Remains of USS West Virginia Sailor Killed at Pearl Harbor Identified: Hadley Heavin
From the February 4 2020,Four States Home Page.com
The defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency has identified the remains of two Kansas sailors killed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
One was Rex Wise who I wrote about earlier.
The other was Navy Fireman 1st Class Hadley Heavin who was 23, one of 106 killed aboard the USS West Virginia that day. He was from Baxter Springs. He will be buried May 23, 2020, in Baxter Springs, Kansas.
