Missing Air Crew Project, Yap Island Search Trip, July 2010

July 27, 2010 Ens. Cox Memorial Dedication

The following link provides a short summary of our Missing Air Crew Project 2010 Yap trip. It’s not comprehensive but should give everyone the highlights of the major events. We had originally planned to post daily updates during the trip, however, a combination of poor internet access and exhaustion prevented daily posts. The trip to Yap was exciting this year due to the fact that our twenty-one year old daughter asked to come with us for the first time. In the past she always said she would never go anywhere close to a place with sharks. We were excited to take Genna to Yap to see all the work we have done over the years and to introduce her to all of our friends on Yap. Over the upcoming weeks I will post groups of pictures from our trip. Please keep watching the links below as I had new information.
