Reviews
We didn't know what kind of mission we wer on until it was over and we were returning to our base. On the way back, we were informed that we had participated in the first atomic bombing mission. --James Strudwick, recalling his mission to photograph the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945
My most vivid memory of the war is the horror that I saw on that beach when we landed. I walked up the beach over arms, legs, and bodies for half a mile. It was pretty traumatizing, but you had to keep going and do what you were trained to do. --Beasor Walker, recalling his landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944 When I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion of admiration I cannot put into words. --Gen. Douglas MacArthur on the American soldier We didn't know what kind of mission we were on until it was over and we were returning to our base.
