Midway turned the war in the Pacific. After this decisive battle, it was island-hopping and a terrible terrible grind to August 1945. But the strength of the Japanese Imperial Navy was broken and they never recovered. Hats off to the brave men who fought this battle, especially to the many who did not return.

When I was a kid we had the nicest church member, just a sweet heart guy, when he died it was reported he was on those island hoping battles, including Okinawa. Those guys did their job, came back home and went to work and making families and communities the greatness they were in the 50s and 60s.
