I just watched a segment on the Military Channel that told of your horrendous ordeal, which you have had to live with for all of these years.  My father, Rymund Wurlitzer, was on the USS Durik 666 and his memories of that experience were vivid until his passing.  The love he shared for his shipmates was never forgotten.  I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for serving our country.  Your strength in the face of the greatest adversity amazes me.  You are the absolute greatest and bless you!  Wendy Wurlitzer
