THERE WAS THE GLIMMER OF HOPE THAT CAPTAIN SPEICHER WAS ALIVE...and would someday appear as if from a dream and all would be well. Such scenes are only in our minds, but now that we know the facts, I am sure that the Captain will now rest in peace and take his respected place in our military history. Robert L. Huffstutter
(There is a park bench in a park back in his hometown with a plaque that is dedicated to his memory. For years, when I lived in the area year-round, it was a bench I visied on my jogging outings with my dog, Moby.)
