As retired mitailry (Army), I have forwarded extensive documentation and research to JPAC in 2009 and 2010 regarding remains not recovered from Wake post war. Still waiting to see if they put Wake on their to do list. I strongly feel that the remains of 100 to 120 of the 178 dead were not searched for or recovered when the war ended. From time to time they still find remains during construction work which cannot be identified.The Wake defenders, mitailry and civilian, had grit. True Americans who have an eternal place in American History.
