From the May 11, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1966, 50 Years Ago: "Americans and Japanese who died 25 years ago in the siege and occupation of Wake Island, a remote Pacific atoll, were honored Sunday. The Federal Aviation Agency, which administers Wake Island, dedicated a non-denominational chapel in the memory of the fighting men of both nations and to the American civilians who died there.
"The $54,900 chapel is the only chapel under the jurisdiction of the FAA."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
