The plane in the front of this picture is that flown by my cousin Hammerin Hank Elrod, first Marine Aviator in WWII to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Karen,

I am a former member of VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers". I would love to hear stories if you have any and share with the guys back in 211.
