To What Remains
 

I stumbled across this in my feed on YouTube and I am glad I did, it is worth the watch.

I'll watch at a better time...to let others know what this is:

Project Recover, a small team of accomplished scientists, historians, and military veterans, scour the depths of the ocean and the farthest corners of the earth, to search for and recover the remains of the more than 80,000 Americans who have been missing in action since World War II. They aim to deliver closure, solace, and kinship to MIA families who've gone generations without answers.

Looks like it should be a good watch. I'll have to keep track when I've got the time.

Just finished watching. Awfully dusty here right now. Something in my eyes. I suppose most of us here have family who served in WWII. This a small, but important part of the history.

Many thanks for the link...

Ok, I just went through a box of tissues! Great film..

Thank you for posting this important story and documentary, Marty.

There are others like it - I will post one in the next post.

A few years back, I remember watching one on NOVA that was as fascinating as it was poignant.

A World War II pilot has been laid to rest in his hometown in Maine, following a complex recovery mission led by Lund University archaeologist Brendan Foley. US Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Ernest N. Vienneau was on a B-17 bomber that came under attack in 1944, and sank off the coast of Croatia. 77 years later, he has been brought home.

I'm amazed that there are any remains to be recovered after so many years.
