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.

Deaths: Aubrey F. "Bud" Kriegmeier
Died August 10, 2013. Born Jan. 22, 1924 in Missouri.
During World War II, served as a submariner as Fireman First Class in Division 6 in the South Pacific and six months in the Atlantic theatre on Patrol E Scout.
I looked up both places he served and couldn't find anything about it. Too bad the names of his submarines were not included in the obituary.
