I know you are right, Tom. But for myself it seemed that it was too much of a struggle to do the right thing and often I felt I failed. To me the best thing is to have witnessed the greatness of others. I saw many a guy as great as this Cobra pilot. I feel as if I was blessed to be a humble witness to such guys as this. It is such a shame that this country never knew what they had produced even in this, the war we lost. Our history has been written by those hostile to us. I honestly believe it will not always be so, that time will put enough perspective on those terrible years of pain and when it is all accounted, our generation will too be among the greatest.
