Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

I don't think the real welders got credit for this photo, these guys have shinny shoes! But they may have been just dressed up too. These guys sure put out the ships, wow. I wonder how many pounds of rod they would use in a day? Most I ever used in 1 12 hr shift was about 75 lbs.
