At the bottom of the second column on #11 is Robert Newcomb, missing. Just for the halibut I wanted to see if he was ever found. I don't know the answer to that, but I did find out he received the Silver Star, here. It seemed a small thing to look for in a very large paper, but there is a lesson to me here: there were an abundance of heroes, so many that we cannot remember or commemorate them all. I thank them today, and I thank you, HJS, for bringing them back so that we could thank them.

P.S. I know I am very much a latecomer to this gathering, and I am sorry for that. I hope I am on your ping list for any future discussions.

Just found it: LtCdr Newcomb was lost at sea, on the Underhill.
