Good job Derek-Amanda Seales, one more comment to add that my Son Derek did not mention is this tribute also is in dedication to "JUST A SNAPPIN" Which his Great Grandfather William McClelland was a crew member of. I am so thankful my Son is helping to carry on the respect for these men whom we will forever be grateful!
