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.

Parbuckled
I just found out via some e-mails that the process being used to raise the Costa Concordia (and the same one used to upright the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor) is called parbuckled/parbuckling. ---GreGen
