Thanks for this.
I have a great-great uncle who is still missing. Went down in the S. Pacific theater but there were some islands they could have made it to. Stories give us hope that someday his remains will be found. These men are not forgotten. They are ‘remembered’ by family members who were born long after they were gone through family stories handed down about them. Great and great-great descendants will keep up the vigil.
I have a friend who recovers world war 2 aircraft wrecks down in the islands.One of the wrecks the remains of the pilot were still aboard.The bird was a P-39 airacobra.The folks in Hawaii have been notified and are sending a team out to effect the recovery of the pilot missing since IIRC 1943.
