Hey,
The Child was named 'Jesse Roper Mohorovic' because of the vessel that picked them up, the USS Roper, (known for sinking U-85). After the mother announced that she was naming her son after the Destroyer, the crew of the Roper raised over $200 for the baby that night.

Sorry if I am giving you info you have already heard, I did not read all of the replies... winking smiley
