Dear
, Thanks to the support of loyal donor base, Project Recover is headed to Palau for our first mission of
the year. The team will be working on multiple open cases while also testing new technologies in the field that could potentially advance our land search capabilities. Keep reading below for some great news to start the year!

Welcome Home, 1st Lt. Herbert G. Tennyson! On Sunday, February 24th, 2025, DPAA publicly announced the identification of 1st Lt. Herbert G. Tennyson of Wichita, KS. He was the pilot of the B-24, "Heaven Can Wait",
lost in Papua New Guinea on March 11th, 1944 during a bombing mission over Hansa Bay. 1st Lt. Tennyson is the third MIA identified from this crew following the May 2023 recovery effort by the Navy Experimental Dive Unit (NEDU). A Project Recover team located the B-24 in 2017.

Learn More About Our Texas B-52 Mission
On February 28th, 1968, eight USAF souls went down with a B-52 during a training flight near Matagorda Island, Texas. Each of these men were part of a family, and starting families of
their own. Today, a daughter, a widow, fellow service members that served alongside these men, along with fellow service members of today and countless other friends and family still wait and hope for their return. Project Recover is currently collecting donations in support of executing a search mission this
year. KSL podcasts just released Episode 1 of a series related to this
case:
