0:35.9	My name is Seth Peridon, historian and deputy director of the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum here at Camp Shelby. And with me, as always, is my esteemed co-host, retired Navy Captain Bill Toady, former Skipper the Fast Attack, Submarine U.S.S. Indianapolis, Commodore Submarine Squadron 3 in Pearl Harbor and many other assignments. How are you, Bill? And welcome back to the good old USA.
0:55.6	Thank you very much, Seth. And I appreciate all the great comments from folks talking about
