"for closure for relatives and ex-comrades".
Teibus you really should do a stand up act. This was 1941, 67 years ago. If any old comrades or old codgers are still knocking about they are most likely in their dotage. Do you know any families still grieving for the crew (besides yourself)?

I can never understand why people go on such events. In a time of war these involved either kill or be killed. Why not celebrate the lives of violent bank raiders or mass murderers ?

Remains of Roman soldiers were unearthed near me some years back, should I stick a wreath of red flowers on it ?
