Famous WW2 Quote
"With Germany arming at breakneck speed, England lost in a pacifist dream, France corrupt and torn by dissension, America remote and indifferent... do you not tremble for your children?"Winston Churchill, 1935

Note that both men are wearing the short-lived Navy Grays uniform. Chief of Naval Operations Ernest King hated the Khakis and commissioned the Grays as an optional alternative. Nimitz hated the Grays so the Grays were usually only seen around Washington while Khakis were normally seen around the Pacific but both were authorized. Once Nimitz advanced to Chief of Naval Operations post-war, the Grays were dropped.
