It saddens me to tell you of the passing of yet another Survivor of the USS Indianapolis. Earl Riggins of Illinois was a US Marine aboard the USS Indianapolis at the time of the sinking.
Please keep the Riggins family in your thoughts and prayers.
If my count is correct, it seems there are now only 52 living survivors...
