But it&#8217;s not just a record setting cruise;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This voyage keep a 29 year old solemn promise Ralph made to honor fallen heroes from the ill fated 1980 EAGLE CLAW mission to rescue the US Embassy hostages in Iran in 1980. Ralph, as a United States Marine, was on the original roster to go, but a different unit was called up, and Sgt. John Harvey, Cpl. George Holmes, and SSgt. Dewey Johnson lost their lives.  Setting out on June 27, 2009, the goals of this heroic adventure are to set new Guinness Book World records for a Transatlantic crossing and to raise money for Wounded Heroes from the USA, UK and Canada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s more at <a href=\"http:\/\/crosstheatlantic.com\/\">their website <\/a>and an article from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tampabay.com\/news\/humaninterest\/article1008076.ece\">Tampa Bay.com<\/a>.
