"It was a great honor to meet you brave men.   Thank you for participating in the efforts to have your shipmates returned to American Soil.  (A special thanks to Nevins A. Frankel of WWW.VPNAVY.ORG, Robert "Bob" Pettway, Don Latimer, and Nick Mulich for all their hard work)

This page contains photos and audio clips of the men who flew with the crew lost in January 1962 recorded at the 2004 VP5 Reunion.  You may need to turn the sound up or down on your computer.  I will soon edit the video tape from the reunion and make it available to everyone.
