From the Book: The Bridges At Toko-Ri ......by James Michener
"Why is America lucky enough to have such men? They leave this tiny ship and fly against the enemy. Then they must seek the ship, lost somewhere on the sea. And when they find it, they have to land upon it's pitching deck. Where did we get such men?"
Admiral George Tarrant, Task Force Commander
The Bridges at Toko-Ri
(fictional character created by James Michener for the book).
The above quote is from the very last page of the book at it's closing paragraph.
While the story is fiction (but based on true accounts), The quote remains true as if it were real today, "Where Do We Get Such Men?" And may they forever protect us and this country.
Love,
