Higgins Fan;
In the Newsletter it mentions "VADM(then LT)Buckley was the only PT boat participant to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor"., What happened? LCDR(then LT.) A. Murray Preston RON 1,RON 33 was also awarded the Medal Of Honor for his actions on September 16, 1944.

I sent an e-mail to them stating that very fact, and in addition I also pointed out the correct spelling of Adm. BULKELEY, not Buckley.
