[StartQuote] Recently I had the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I was in Washington DC with some of my Middle School students. I was thinking about about PT Boat vets and how they served their country. I was thinking especially of three sailors that died the night my father was severely wounded on his PT boat one and a half miles off Shortland Island in the western Solomon Islands on the night of 12/13 November 1943. Lt.( jg.) Joseph McLaughlin (Boston, Massachusetts) ExO (KIA November 13, 1943) Arnold Beckett (Craig, Colorado) TM (KIA November 13, 1943) Arthur Schwerdt (Hollis, Queens, New York) QM1c (KIA November 13, 1943) [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Nathaniel%20Smith/wreath.png[/image] natsmith[EndQuote]
