An elderly Solomon Islander who changed world history 64 years ago has this week finally been honoured.

long over due honor. a little irony..... kennedy was a pretty high profile guy for a navy liuey during the war. general macarthur wanted charges brought up on jfk for dereliction of duty after the story came out.

Great to see the crew of the USS Pelleliu donated $1,500 for his new home
