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.

75 Years Ago Today: Nagasaki
Seventy-five years ago today, the United States dropped the second atom bomb on Japan. This time on he city of Nagasaki.
The dropping of these two bombs finally made the Japanese government realize the futility of further resistance and World War II end a few days later.
