| IRS990/Desc | 0 | During 2015, the BentProp Project team made a formal commitment to expand its Vision and Mission beyond the Republic of Palau. We put a great deal of thought into this because we recognize this is no small matter: after all, we have spent 22 years searching on land and underwater in Palau alone. Our decision to proceed with this expansion is based on our belief that we can take on global pursuit of Missing Americans because of the knowledge and experiences we have gained to date as well as because of our expanded composite expertise through our partnership with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Delaware. We believe we are ready. To symbolize this change, we have revised our BentProp coin, as seen on the new challenge coin, to capture our process: Research, Search, Repatriate and Educate on a worldwide basis.DURING 2015 ONE EXPEDITION IN PAULAU WAS HELD IN MARCH-APRIL. ONE TBM AVENGER WAS DISCOVERED/RECOVERED AND A FLAG CEREMONY HELD TO HONOR THE CREW. PIECES OF ANOTHER AVENGER WERE LOCATED AND OTHER EXPORATIONS ON LAND AND BY SEA WERE CONTINUED. |
