In 2009 and 2010, I visited your USS
Atlanta site and have spent hours
wading through it, soaking in as much as I could.
My mother's brother S1C George Arthur Willoughby was part of the
USS
Juneau crew lost in Nov 1942.
On Sept 2, 2010, (yes, a year ago) our family and his younger
brother
William were able to have a full military honors ceremony at
Arlington National Cemetery for him in the memorial section.
It is partly due to your dedication to keeping the spirit of
these two
ships and crews alive that helped us get the marker placed. It
brought 4 generations together 68 years later to memorialize my
uncle
who most of us never met.
The military ceremony was breathtakingly precise, and moving
beyond belief.
I wanted to say thanks for filling in some of the details. I
have
included a few pictures that tell it all |
