Real Sad and Even Sadder: Pearl Harbor Survivor Dies on the Anniversary of It

I came across an article from the Dec. 7th NPR "Veteran of Pearl Harbor Dies on Anniversary of Attack" by Bill Chappell.

Frank Curre, 88, died around noon, December 7, 2011, seventy years to the day he was under attack at Pearl Harbor after suffering from mesothelioma, a form of cancer for many years. He had given his story just last month at the Story Corps site on Veterans Day.

At this point, I am starting to realize that I had listened to his story many times trying to transcribe it as he had some quotes that really hit home. I had not yet posted his story, but will do so on the very next entry.

He had been living at the home of a daughter in Waco, Texas.

Hits Home Too Hard.
