Unveiling History: The Mission to Bring Home the Lost Marines of Mt. Rainier

In the rugged beauty of Washington's Mt. Rainier lies a poignant story of sacrifice, resilience, and an unwavering promise kept across generations. In December 1946, a U.S. Marine Corps R5C Commando aircraft tragically crashed into the mountain's icy expanse, claiming the lives of all 32 Marines on board. For decades, the wreckage and their remains were entombed within the mountain's glaciers, inaccessible and out of reach. Today, as climate change accelerates glacial melt worldwide, Mt. Rainier is gradually revealing its long-held secrets. This has paved the way for Resolute Promise (Resolute Promise Projects) to embark on a noble mission: to bring home the fallen heroes and provide closure to their families.
