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.

The Four Remaining USS Arizona Survivors
With the recent death of Lonnie Cook, that leaves just four remaining USS Arizona survivors, all in their upper 90s:
Don Stratton
Lauren Bruner
Lou Conter
Ken Potts.
Earlier this year, the last survivor of the Doolittle Raid died.
It Will Be A Sad Day When These Four Die. --GreGen
