Lest We Forget
79 years ago today
Three aircraft carriers and all the aircrews they could muster
Young men, many not even old enough to vote
Went up against the most powerful Navy the World had ever seen
Who wanted above all else to capture the three little insignificant islands two of which are pictured below.
They had no right to win
But with a combination of skill, luck and uncommon courage
They prevailed.
Our gallant men of the United States Navy
Midway, 04 June 1942
May we never forget, may we always pray that our LORD reserves a special place for these gallant, brave young men, far too many died for you.
