Reprise of a presentation by Ben Huntley, RADM Sam Cox, and Jeff Mini at the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) reunion July 6-9, 2023 in Benicia, California.

At age 12, Sam Leiger created this video as a National History Day project, honoring the history of USS Indianapolis (CA-35). In 2019, Sam then attended the Indianapolis Reunion to interview survivors and lost-at-sea families. His National History Day project Sam went on to win awards in Kentucky and in Washington DC. We thank Sam for his efforts to honor the final sailing crew of Indianapolis.
