Just wanted to remind everyone that today is the 29th Anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Her entire crew of 29 went down with her on Lake Superior Nov. 10th, 1975. None of the crew were ever recovered and the actual cause of the sinking remains somewhat questionable.

Her Captains last words..."We're holding our own"...

Please take a moment to remember the crew and the families they left behind...

Darryl,

As a former Navy man, those situations are always in the mind of everyone who has been aboard a ship!
No fear, but you need to know your possible menaces!
Wars are won with sacrifices - and those are always remembered!

Thank you for helping us doing so!!

Skipper
