Sixty nine years ago, my father geared up for his 19th combat mission about the
carrier Bella Wood. I will forever have to imagine his thoughts and feelings.
He said there was no way to get through flak like that and he was right. His plane
took repeated hits and was unable to return to the ship.
What happened has never been told.
Today I take a moment to honor, and to thank him for his sacrifice, and for his crazy
choice to be the only midshipman who couldn't swim.
...and ended up floating in shark infested waters on this day almost seven decades
ago.

markable point in the annual loop. Namaste
