On second reading...225 feet is probably too deep for me. That's 95 feet beyond my certification limit, and 140 feet beyond my deepest dive logged thus far. Nitrogen narcosis is a bad, bad deal.

And top that with the trauma of sudden compression from the explosion. I don't think they had a chance. Prayers for their souls 60 years later.

I'm glad that some of the family members will now have some idea of what happened to their courageous loved ones.

This is a great post for this 4th Of July weekend. We should all remember those who gave all that we might enjoy this coming celebration. While our courts and government haven't been good custodians of freedom, our soldiers carry forth the tradition of tremendous bravery and honor that our forefathers would be proud of.

So very true and well put.
