This list was originally compiled by shipmate Jim King for a memorial service honoring Wasp crew members who made "the supreme sacrifice" during World War II and in the 1950's. The memorial service was held at the Naval Station in Everett, Washington, during the 50th anniversary celebration of the end of World War II.
