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.

Irish Lighthouses in World War II: Blacksod Lighthouse
Blackrock Mayo Lighthouse sustained gunfire during World War II. A German plane attacked the SS Macville in deep water near the lighthouse.
Stray bullets shattered panes in the lighthouse, but the keepers were unhurt.
