Unfortunately, the article is now posted at the above URL, but doesn't
include any of the photos (then and now) from the cover or in the
article.  If you or anyone else here is interested in seeing the photos,
just send me an email at jim.holsonback{at}juno.com, and I'll send you a
photocopy as it was published.

In the interim, I have done some more internet research on my cousin,
and there is a more complete description of what he went through during
the 8 days or so between when his company was first over-run and when he
finally made it back to US forces as described in the Jul/Aug 1997
edition of Naval History magazine,  "Corsairs from Heaven", written by
Navy CPT Diane Diekman. If the link below doesn't work, just search on
the article title.
