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.

Not Likely That Acie Shaffer and Vernon Clark Both In 84th Infantry
I looked up the 84th Infantry Division in Wikipedia.
The unit was called "The Railsplitters" and their patch showed an axe on a tree.
However, the unit fought in Europe and Vernon Clark dealt with the Japanese.
