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.

Bits of War: A Piece of USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor Survivor Dies, and NCIS Episode
** March 12, 2020: A piece of the USS Arizona is heading to Lake Havasu Cuty, Arizona.
** Cabell County's last Pearl Harbor survivor has died at age 98. West Virginia. March 13, 2020 T.R. Tommy Wickline was 19 and on the USS Maryland that day. He had enlisted in the Navy at age 16.
** Christopher Lloyd to star in upcoming "NCIS" episode where he will be playing a USS Arizona survivor. Looking forward to this one.
