3:25 · bowel lifts clear of the water and it
3:27 · planes gracefully over the surface
3:29 · but until the war came PT's in the
3:31 · United States Navy were an untried type
3:33 · they'd never met the test of action and

5:22 · strong
5:23 · but War comes at a cost The Washington

9:14 · at Arlington he said I had classmates
9:16 · who did not come home I had Shipmates
9:19 · who did not make it I knew what they

9:50 · President Clinton said to Darlington I
