Agreed, it would be nice if they could all be brought home.

I wonder if that wrecked Emily is still there?

That is a great story.

Harrington F. Reynolds is a distant relative of mine. He talked his life long buddy 'Robert Maulding' to join the raiders with him.., Robert was killed in the initial raid on Makin island. Harry met the submarines in Pearl Harbor expecting his friend to be there and was not.

Harry was their at Arlington when Robert finally came home to rest.

Yup, that's what's important

Would be nice.., are we sure they were Emilys? I read they may be Mavis'.
