With Memorial Day being tomorrow, I thought I'd share this story I read this morning about the USS Harder submarine in WWII.


And...

"On 22 May 2024, Tiburon Subsea CEO Tim Taylor and the Lost 52 Project announced that they had discovered the wreck of Harder in the South China Sea near the Philippines' northern island of Luzon.[10][11] Taylor's discovery was confirmed by the U.S. Navy based on video footage taken of the wreckage. Harder sits mostly intact and upright at a depth of 3,750 feet (1,140 m).[12] A large hole on the port side just aft of the conning tower indicates Harder likely received a direct hit by a depth charge, similar to the fate suffered by Lagarto."

No.

It's not.

So many people get this wrong.

Today is NOT for those who are or have served.

Today is for those that LOST THEIR LIVES while serving this country.

Why can't people get this straight?
Perhaps you misread something or didn't watch the video? It only dealt with remembering those that gave their lives. Please re-read it and watch the video.
