## Resource

In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Memorial Day in their own unique way, by telling the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the tale of the men on board. As if surviving WW2 in the South Pacific wasn’t enough of a trial, these men battled the elements, starvation, dehydration, and ocean predators and many of them never made it back. So take a moment and tip your cap to the brave men who made it and, more importantly, to those who didn’t.
