I had been out there long enough. I had not seen my family for four years.
From Barney Ross
Everything was black in the harbor, but there were still some fires burning on the ships.
Destroyers did not have chaplains because they were too small.
All we had aboard the ship that morning was one Annapolis graduate and three reserves.
After the atomic bombs were dropped, the war ended and we went into Tokyo Bay with the rest of the fleet, the Missouri and the rest of them, while they signed the terms of surrender that ended the war.
