After reading all these post's it is amazing that so little is known by so many about a battle that was so important to American history, Excluding those who aren't American of course. I've known about most of these little tidbits of info about the Battle of Midway Since I was a kid, and I'm 45 years old. My Grand father was a plank owner on the USS Grenadier. He was with her from the time she left the shipyard till they had to scuttle her in the Indian Ocean thanks to a Jap aerial depthcharge. His boat was part of the cordon at Midway. History is very important and should be taken seriously by everyone. That is how we honor our past and that is the way we keep from repeating our mistakes in the future.
