Home of The Heroes

This is a great web site honoring our military heros. Check it out.

This is what was sent to me by the owner of the web page. It is about my cousin.

Edward Grover DeLong got the Navy Cross, and perhaps the Silver Star as well. Below is what I have on him:

“For extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of his profession while Commanding Motor Torpedo Boat THIRTY-ONE (PT-31), Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron THREE (MTB-3), in action against the enemy from 25 February 1942 through 10 April 1942, in the Philippine Islands. The exceptional bravery, aggressive leadership, and outstanding devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant DeLong were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.”
