The Heroes We Grew Up With Redux

On May 11, I wrote a post about attending the 64th anniversary reunion of the shipmates on the USS Evans DD552. A friend just sent me some photos to post on the Evans Web site. A few of them are worth posting here.

honoring those who died on May 11, 1945 is dropped.

whose family sponsored this reunion,
with a certificate of special recognition
from U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy.
