Famous Iwo Jima Picture Missing

I'm sorry but I feel he had every right to sue. That's beyond gross negligence on the part of the Intrepid staff. Sadly, money will not replace history.
I bet this incident will also stop others from allowing Intrepid from using their historical items for display to the public.

I oh agree he has the right.

I also agree the intrepid staff needs an bellybutton kicking.   I would hope they fire the people in charge and replace them.  Its just sad to see a larger historic item at risk, due to this.

The Hornet is also under attack by developers who want to build high price homes in that area. The possible good thing about the slow down of the economy is the delay of such actions. If it were to happen, I sure hope the Hornet gets moved to Mare Island to be along side USS Iowa who is slated to be moved there as well. It would be sad as Alameda was the staging point for Doolittle and the Raiders.

Thats prolly dead for now with the housing market the way it is. I am prolly going to volenteer on her soon. I got Married on the ship as well about a month ago.

Something to consider is that the museum pays for insurance. The insurance company might not be willing to cough up any settlement much less one based on the stated value of the photos without a law suit being filed. That leaves the museum holding the bag without the suit and they can't afford that kind of money I'd bet.

I agree that there is no excuse for losing loaned items. It's very sloppy and should deter anyonme who would otherwise loan items to the museum.

Right on!

My father was on USS Hornet during the Vietnam War so that is my tie to her. I would like to be a volunteer as soon as my knee allows me too (I had surgery).

The Museum staff at the Intrepid should be held accountable for the loss of this mans property. Maybe he should get an agency to submit all the volunteers to a lie detector test?? Just a thought.
