Memorial Service Planned for Seamen
The Navy announced memorial services on the Bennington at Quonset Point for 100 seamen killed in a below decks explosion. The 100th victim was Navy Lt. Robert R. Wright, 34, of Marlboro Massachusetts, whose death deepened the tragedy alongside a prior Leyte casualty in Boston last October.
