This video is a tribute to Loyce Edward Deen, a Navy gunner that was killed in action in late 1944. The footage shows the landing of his TBF Avenger torpedo bomber on board the USS Essex CV-9.
For almost all of his missions, Loyce teamed up with Pilot Lt. Robert Cosgrove (24) from New Orleans, Louisiana and Radioman Digby Denzek (20) from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
During an attack on Manila Bay on November 5th, the crew encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire from a Japanese cruiser and Loyce was killed from two AA shells. In the 2001 History Channel documentary film "Battle Group Halsey" interview, Capt. Cosgrove recalled, "Denzek told me over the intercom that Deen was hit bad.Then, Densek came back up thru the small passage way to sit in the cabin behind me. He stayed there until we landed."
The song is called "Going Home". This EXACT version is sung by the BYU Men's Choir and is from their September 2003 CD, "The Road Home". Here's a link:
