BigJohn3RD Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi Scott, Very interesting group to a Sailor who almost made it through the whole war; the Navy declared him KIA with in two months of the USS Twiggs sinking. Did they not normally wait a year before declaring an MIA dead? Thank you for sharing. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
