WWII veterans gather for final USS Franklin reunion

Samuel Rhodes Jr., a World War II veteran, shares a laugh during an interview May 17, 2013, aboard the USS Yorktown (CV 10) at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. Rhodes, along with approximately 20 remaining crewmembers of the USS Franklin (CV 13) and their family members, gathered for a final reunion. A memorial service in Yorktown’s Hangar Bay II took place near the Franklin exhibit and honored the more than 800 men who were killed in action March 19, 1945, as well as the crewmembers who have since passed.
