I'm looking for relatives of Samuel Reed Dighton. He was a sailor during WWII and listed his hometown as Sanford, Florida. He was aboard the sub, the USS GRUNION when it went missing in July, 1942 while on its maiden voyage in the Aluetians. The families were not notified for several months.

They were declared dead Aug 2, 1943. 70 men died on this submarine and until recently nothing was known about their fate.

Now a search is underway to locate the sub, it is being conducted by the son's of Commander Mannert and I have joined the search for relatives so we can share this exciting news. Any leads or tips would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you
