One survivor (Vic Buckett) was escorted by his two grandsons that are in the Navy. I apologize for not having all the names of all the young people involved, but it is truly touching to see the two generations together for the Memorial Service.

great pics...were the young sailors there as escorts? How inspiring the old salts must be to them. Would love captions for the pics. I noticed a young marine there too, was he there for a marine survivor?

Does anyone know if there Is going to be another reunion planned for the Indy survivors? I would like to know so that I can attend it and meet some of these wonderful heroes. These great men aren't going to be with us much longer as the infirmities of old age claim them for the ages.
