This plane and crew went down at sea during the Cuban Crisis,
Nov. 8 1961 on our Eastern Coast. All were lost at sea. My uncle
was furthest on right.

Copy and paste below.
TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND LOVED
ONES:
As we get into the 3 and 4 day holiday weekend, let us all
remember the true meaning of Memorial Day is not the start of
barbecues and swimming pools, but to honor those who gave the
ultimate sacrifice while serving his or her country. The
National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks
Americans, wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial
Day, to pause in an act of national unity for a duration of one
minute. The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when
most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national
holiday. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day
events; rather, it is an act of national unity in which all
Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who
died in service to the United States.
God Bless Us All, and have a safe weekend.

My dad told me some unknown info about this that he has found
out. He talked to someone that knew his older brother very well
and his brother had told them the anti sub missions were getting
more and more dangerous. Guess he said they were getting lower
and lower to the water and he was going to cross train into
something different in the Navy.

Suits I have no clue.
Thats the crew that was lost in pic.
Guessing just part of their gear they loaded up to take with
them.
Only 2 bodies were recovered at sea. My uncle was never found.
Per my mom = The airplane and crew was lost at sea Nov 8. 1961
during the Cuban crisis. Only 2 crew members were found along
with small parts of the plane.

Pardon my ignorance here. What is the difference between
Memorial Day and Veterans Day? We observe Armistice Day on
November 11.

Memorial day is the last Monday in May
Veteran's day is formally November 11 but is sometimes observed
on a Monday.
Other than that?

I'll give it a shot with help explaining.
Per Wikipedia.
Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women
who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are
remembered.
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors
people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as
veterans.
Armistice Day (which coincides with Remembrance Day and
Veterans Day, public holidays) is commemorated every year on 11
November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of
World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation
of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took
effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.
