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.

LCC 60
I looked up the LCC 60 and found that Lt. (jg) Howard Vander Beek had written a book about the ship's operation on D-Day at Utah Beach.
It is titled "Aboard the LCC 60 Normandy and Southern France, 1944" published in 1990, 95 pages.
It is offered on Amazon for $245 so must be fairly rare.
