On to the Next 20 Years

It almost seems like these past 20 years have gone by in a blur. We have met so many wonderful people, so many honored veterans of all sides in World War II – and we have done so much to keep the honest history of this brave and honorable elite force alive. Thanks to all the veterans who have helped.

Now – on to the next twenty years of doing the same. Thanks for being part of this history called SHARKHUNTERS.
