USS Indianapolis WWII Survivors Gather For Maybe The Last Time

The reunion of survivors of the USS Indianapolis could be the final large-scale gathering for the group. Many of those who survived the ship's sinking during WWII in 1945 are now in their 80s and 90s and too old to make such a commitment, a group member told The Associated Press.

Eighty-six-year-old Harold Bray of Benicia, Calif., was among the 317 members of the ship's nearly 1,200-person crew who survived the July 1945 sinking by a Japanese submarine and four days in shark-infested Pacific Ocean waters.

    The movie of the same name I feel did a great job depicting what those men went through after having their ship sunk. These guys survived an incredible hardship and it is a shame that they are dying off so quickly. Please, everyone, if you see any WWII Vet, take a minute to thank them for their service, whether it was Sea, Air or Land, it was all very horrific.
