He knew immediately he wanted to find the rest of the aircraft and, with it, the stories of its 11-man crew. In 1993, our founder, Pat Scannon, saw the wing of a World War II B-24 Liberator in the jungles of Palau. Project Recover started out as a small all-volunteer team searching for WWII aircraft and MIAs in Palau. With your donation, we can find more like this one which led to the repatriation and burial of Albert ‘Bud’ Rybarczyk and Ora H.Sharninghouse, Jr. This video shows the Project Recover team finding a World War II TBM Avenger in 2014. We do it for the greater good of our communities and country as we gather in love and gratitude to celebrate the homecoming of our heroes. We do it for their families whose loss is carried through the generations into the present. It is a challenging and audacious mission, but we want to Keep America’s Promise to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We work with foreign and our own federal government to repatriate the MIAs we locate. We dive and document wrecks more than 100+ feet underwater. Our team travels across the world and hack our way through jungles. Funded by generous donations, we work together to locate, document and repatriate POW/ MIAs. We are a team of mostly volunteer professionals. The truth is we are working against the odds. We are striving to Keep America’s Promise and bring our MIAs home.

Our nation’s promise “to leave no one behind” will be broken without funding to increase the scope and speed of our work.

The remains of our missing in action (MIAs) who fought and died for our freedom are being worn away by time and the elements.
