Has anyone else looked into the possible connections with the 25th Infantry Division? Howard Veillette's old military unit being stationed in Hawaii could be more than just a coincidence regarding his last known whereabouts. It makes me wonder if he had any old friends or contacts from the army there. Maybe someone who served with him might have information they've forgotten or have yet to realize could be helpful. The fact he's marked as last seen in two very different places adds another layer of mystery that needs careful unraveling. Have any local veterans' organizations in Hawaii been contacted to spread the word or see if anyone remembers him? It might be worth reaching out, even all these years later.

I wonder if anyone else finds the differing reports about Howard Veillette's last known location a bit curious. It seems odd that there would be such conflicting information regarding whether he was last seen in Shelton, CT, or Honolulu, HI. The detail about the "Tropic Lightning" Division patch is intriguing, though—it makes the Hawaii connection seem plausible. Does anyone know if this division had operations in Connecticut at the time, or if there's any way his assignment could have led to a mix-up in reported locations? It feels like this piece of information might be important in figuring out what really happened to him. Any military history buffs here who can shed some light on this?
