What a great project! It's unfortunate that many of us may never fully understand the sacrifices and triumphs of that generation.

I remember an old movie called pt109. it was a cool movie. cool boats too.

That movie was about President Kennedy's boat action in WW II.

They were looking for a Japanese Convoy of Battleships, Cruisers and Destroyers. Well, he found them (or they found him) and his boat was cut in half when a Destroyer hit him amidship in fog !

Good Movie
