Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted. I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate. McCARTHY .. .. .. With great sadness, we announce the passing of SKCM(SS) Edward J.
