This is an unusual video, but I recommend it highly.

 Sixty seven years ago, at the Battle of Savo Island, Daniel Galvin found himself among a handful of survivors when the USS Quincy was attacked by a vastly superior Japanese force.

This is the story of his commitment to honoring the hundreds of young men who were his shipmates - almost all of whom perished in an area of the Pacific near Guadalcanal that came to be known as "Ironbottom Sound".

Many generations of Americans have sacrificed for the freedoms that we enjoy.  For almost seven decades, Daniel Galvin has paid a lonely tribute to the sacrifice made by his shipmates as the society around him has forgotten about the Battle of Savo Island.  But Daniel Galvin knows something that too many in our nation do not understand.  We'e all the poorer when we forget this nation's real heroes.  In fact, remembering them is essential to our survival.
