Made an error it wasn't Wake Is. made a fuel
stop was at Midway Island. There is a
Memorial dedicated to the defenders of the
island against the Japanese during WWII.
During the Vietnam War thousands of US Troops
stopped at Midway for fuel and emergency repairs.
This was over Forty years ago, when I was
younger, much younger.
