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.

Some More on Singer Vera Lynn
From Wikipedia.
She enjoyed popularity before the war. In 1941, during the darkest days of the war for England, she began her popular radio show Sincerely Yours, where she sang songs for British armed forces overseas according to their requests.
She was best known for 1942.s "We'll Meet Again." and was born in 1917.
