A Couple of WWII Vets Have Left Us
Senator Daniel Akaka, a WWII veteran, passed away on Friday at the age of 93. He was the sponsor for federal legislation in 1996 that resulted in the Medal of Honor being awarded to 22 Asia-American soldiers who fought for the USA during World War II. One of them included Sen. Daniel Inouye, who served with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in Italy and was severely wounded during that service.
In addition, after being missing for 73 years, the remains of Aviation Ordinanceman 2nd Class (AO2) Ora Sharninghouse, Jr. were identified and he was laid to rest next to his parents in Wood County, Ohio. He was a member of the Navy’s VT-18 (Torpedo Squadron). There’s a nice photo of him in the Stars & Stripes article.
His plane crashed at Palau. A radioman’s remains were also found with him.
Also in the news: Winnie Mandela passed on April 2. I’m sure there are people looking forward to seeing her again. Just thought you’d like to know.

Hopefully Winnie will be perpetually ‘Necklaced’ in hell by the victims of her terrorist ANC.
SA is an ultra-violent shithole now. Rhodesia was once the pearl of Southern Africa.
Welcome home and Rest In Peace to our WW2 heroes.
Fair winds and following seas, Greatest Generation. As for Winnie, I hope she’s getting exactly what she deserves.
Winnie Mandela
The cash is hidden somewhere.
Rest in Peace Senator Daniel Akaka and Aviation Ordinanceman 2nd Class (AO2) Ora Sharninghouse, thank you for all you have done.
Also, RIP to the 15 dead of the Humboldt Broncos. Under 20 is WAY too young for anyone to die.
