[This is a wonderful site. You can tell that a lot of work has gone into this project. Dave and Apple should really be congratulated. Sally] The Tablets of the Missing are located at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. The Tablets honor the names of America's servicemen that are Missing in Action or Buried at Sea in the South Pacific during World War II. The monument is a splendid memorial and is the centerpiece for the graves of 17,206 Americans buried and honored here. http://fizkid.tripod.com/id26.html NOTE: These were Indiana soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen. There are also some pictures of the folk buried in the cemetery. Example: Adkins, Bruce Raymond Seaman Second Class Bruce Adkins of the United States Navy, was injured in the Pearl Harbor bombing June 7, 1941, by the Japanese. He died February 4, 1942 from those injuries. Being buried in the Philippines is a bit of a mystery. He was serving on the USS Nevada. He is buried in the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. Akers, James R Fireman First Class James Akers, United States Navy, was lost at sea while serving on the USS Spence December 18, 1944. The Spence was along the coast of Samar in the Philippines and Typhoon Cobra caused her to capsize and sink. Only 24 topside shipmates survived as they were rescued by the USS Tabberer. Akers is listed on the "Tablets of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
