KEYWORDS: sad
Loyce Deen was killed in a raid on Manila but his pilot got the ship back to the Essex. Rather than take his body out of the shot up airplane, it was decided to leave him on board and bury him in the plane. Very touching and a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom, then and now.

That was the most beautiful service I have ever seen, I am having tears for breakfast. God bless you Loyce, and thank you.

Obama, Clinton, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Holder, all of those Rats plus many more would not feel a thing watching that.
They have no spirit, no humanity, nothing but cold calculus about their power structure.
Damn them all to hell.

I originally read about this on the VintageWings of Canada site and their “Right Place at The Right Time” story on some great WW2 Aviation Photos. Very Moving to see it from Newsreel of the time though.
