Abstract: THE YAP VISITORS BUREAU (YVB) and Patrick Ranfranz with the Missing Air Crew Project have a long-lasting partnership. By working together, they have created World War II resources and memorial sites that symbolize the tremendous sacrifice and loss of human life near Yap Island during WWII. They have preserved and created some of the most unique World War II memorials in the Pacific. They have also created numerous resources for the Yap tourism industry which document the WWII history of Yap Island. Visitors are encouraged to use these resources to visit an array of WWII sites throughout the island and remember the sacrifice of World War II.
