Veterans Group Dissolves

The amazingly historic US Navy - South China Yangtze Patrol is long ago relegated to history. Now the veterans of that fleet, many of the survivors of the first early battles of WWII in the Pacific are closing out their association. A blog and some websites continue to offer their stories. The sign off in the letter was telling. "See you at the slop chute at the old Whangpoo". Farewell, heroes.
