Country: | Thanks guys. It means a lot. I have been in contact with Capt Lorence's son, who was 8 months old when it happened. Until Capt Lorence's remains come home to rest, this will continue. I will keep you all posted on the progress as I get more information.
Thanks for your continued support!
