Thanks Colin - for those who do not know the work of Colin he is a historian for @ProjRecover whose mission is to find and repatriate American #MIAs. Recently he has worked in Fed States of Micronesia searching for over 100 U.S. #MIAs who went down in a lagoon during #WWII.

Replying to @FrancesBekafigo
It’s a great visualization from an MIA search perspective too. We could use that date and target data to narrow down lanes of travel (and potential ditching)

Since the award was created in 1782, more than 1.8-million Purple Heart medals have been presented to service members. Please join us in remembering and honoring all Purple Heart recipients for their service and sacrifice today. 💜 #PurpleHeartDay
The Purple Heart is a U.S. Military decoration presented to service members wounded or killed by enemy action, while serving in the U.S. military. It is a solemn distinction and indicates that a service member has greatly sacrificed themselves or made the ultimate sacrifice, while in the line of duty.

Derek Abbey, President of @ProjRecover, shares his thoughts on why veterans are positioned to be leaders during this pandemic. "People are going to look to you for guidance and when they look to you, they are looking for that calming presence. Calm is contagious." #MRCBeALeader

Today is the 85th anniversary of the crash and sinking of #USSMacon, the last of the US Navy's giant airships. Today the wreckage is some of the oldest #aviationarchaeology artifacts scientists study underwater. They lie in the @MBNMS at more than 400 m deep.

Twenty years after it was first discovered, scientists and archaeological explorers relocated and documented the site of a WWII aircraft off Oahu, Hawaii, using state-of-the-art technology to image the deep-water site in unprecedented detail. scripps.ucsd.edu/news/new-de…
