I had the extreme Honor to hear World War II Veteran and Survivor of the Sinking of the USS Indianapolis, Marine Sergeant Edgar Harrell in 2018 during Welcome Home Veterans Ceremonies at Old Glory Distillery help by AARP. His amazing story of the events that happened during the Sinking of the USS Indianapolis that was caused by being Torpedoed by a Japanese Submarine and was hit twice causing the ship to sink within 12 Minutes after being hit. His speaking about the events that happened after the almost 900 men that went into the Water and of the terrible losses of life to so so many was a Truly amazing Story and brought many tears to the eyes of many of the Veterans that were in Attendance that evening. I seen Mr. Edgar Harrell one day at the Waffle House Resturant on Madison Street one day recently and he was there with a very good friend of his and I had a Chance to shake his hand and tell him of how great that it was to be able to meet a Hero from World War 2 and of his Amazing story of Survival in Shark Invested Waters for almost 5 days before they were rescued. May you forever be Comforted by The Arms Of Jesus Christ.

May the God of comfort, comfort his friends and family during this most difficult time and bring them peace.

Thank you for your service and thank you for the many lives you touched. Hug your crew! God Speed SIR!

My condolences.

Mr. Edgar Harrell my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Thank you for your service on the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis CA 35. I am glad they found the USS Indianapolis a few years ago so you could see that event. My dad (Enrico Trotta) who passed in 2017 at age 92 served on the USS Louisville CA 28 (near sister ship of Indy) from 1943-46 and witnessed (52) sailors and Rear Admiral Theodore Chandler buried at sea due to (3) kamikaze attacks in Pacific. You are part of the greatest generation. My dad & I met years ago a survivor in Center Line, MI who was on the USS Indianapolis too. It is great to talk to this veterans for only someone that was there could give accurate detail. God Bless you and your family!

May God bless you and your family. Thank you for your service to our country. True heroes like you are few and far between, especially in this day and age.
