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

This is my father, he related a story about breaking his nose on
a carrier landing in Lake Michigan. I now see how that happened.
Thank you for posting this photo, my family has not seen before.
Sadly he past away May 2011 at 90, he would have loved this photo.
