Title: USS Moniter
Post by: Bryan on March 07, 2013, 07:36:39 PM

On the CBS News tonight they had a story on the Moniter.  When they raised the gun turret, the remains of 2 crewmen were recovered.  They are being buried with full Military Honors at Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow.  I'm not good at linking sites, if anybody can do that so all can read about it thanks.
