Some one sent me the story about Mr May's sick wife as being the impetus of the story. I looked it up on Snopes, which does mention his sick wife, but clarifies that it was a promotional for the store he worked for.

Sailor Missing from WWII Identified

A sailor missing in action from the attack on Pearl Harbor has been
identified and returned to his family for burial.

He is Fireman Second Class Payton L. Vanderpool, Jr., of Cowgill, Missouri.

Vanderpool was aboard the USS Pennsylvania in dry dock at Pearl Harbor
when the December 7, 1941 attack began. The ship was hit by a Japanese bomb that
penetrated the main deck and detonated below deck. It was further damaged when a
nearby destroyer, the USS Downes, exploded. More than 50 sailors and marines died
on the USS Pennsylvania. Vanderpool was among six still missing after the attack.
In the days following the attack, burial details began to inter the dead, but his
name does not appear on any cemetery burial ledgers. He was presumed to have been
killed in action and a military review board declared his remains to be
non-recoverable.

On December 9, 1941, the remains of an "unknown" sailor from the Pearl
Harbor attack were interred at the Halawa Naval Cemetery on Oahu. In September 1947
these remains were disinterred and examined by the staff at the Central
Identification Laboratory, but they were unable to establish identification. They
were reburied at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, or Punchbowl, in 1949.

In 2001 the laboratory obtained records that suggested these remains could
be associated with an unknown sailor from the USS Pennsylvania. The remains were
exhumed in June 2003 and identified in September through skeletal analysis and
dental records.

Can't think of a better way to start the day than with a cup of coffee and a serving of Our Daily Bread. Thanks

Your welcome, and neither can I. I post the whole thing on Amy's P&P, should I post the whole thing here?
I wonder?

"thoughtful..some letter stealer made me do that!"

That Letter Guy makes frequent forays into our turf, Meggie.
I have been his victim countless times, stealing letters with abandon.
So often, in fact, I am beginning to think he is stalking me !!

Might be a good idea. I read it at the P & P everyday, but I also enjoy the cup 'o coffee here, the Canteen and the Foxhole. Keep up the good work, my friend.
