AN EARLY THANKSGIVING STORY.

AN EARLY THANKSGIVING STORY. On Thanksgiving two years ago, I gave thanks to the Americans who have gone before us for what they gave us (it was the 9th post on this blog). In that post I typed out the names listed in Herman Wouk’s WAR AND REMEMBRANCE of the 82 young men from the three torpedo squadrons who changed the course of the war in the Pacific at the Battle of the Midway. One of the names on the list was Wilfred N. McCoy. His granddaughter inquired about Wilfred N. McCoy in a comment, and the two comments of yesterday and today tell of how family members found each other through that comment on this blog. I am moved by this story which resulted from a tribute to heroism.
