Every night I watch the sunset and soak up every last ray of its warmth, and send it from my heart to yours.Evelyn Johnson4
“Rafe: "You are so beautiful it hurts."
Evelyn: "It's your nose that hurts."
Rafe: "I think it's my heart."Rafe McCawley1
That's what I want to come home to, that's what I want to have to think about and dream about. I wanna know that the best part of my life is still ahead of me.Rafe McCawley1
A brilliant man would find a way not to fight a war.Admiral Yamamoto1
There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.Jimmy Doolittle1
When the action is over and we look back, we understand both more and less. This much is certain. Before the Doolittle raid, America knew nothing but defeat. After it, there was hope of victory. Japan realized, for the first time, they could lose and began to pull back. America realized, that she would win and surged forward. It was a war, that changed America and the world. Dorie Miller was the first black American to be awarded the Navy Cross. But he would not be the last. He joined a brotherhood of heroes. World War II, for us, began at Pearl Harbor, and 1.177 men still lie entombed in the battleship Arizona. America suffered, but America grew stronger. It was not inevitable. The times tried our souls, and through the trial, we overcame.Evelyn Johnson1
I soared above the song birds
And never heard them sing
I lived my life in winter
And then you brought the springWar is a farmer's son from Kansas trying to kill a factory worker's son from Berlin, with neither of them knowing why.I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.Admiral Yamamoto
