There should be a special medal for those who serve under these circumstances. Thank you for the thread. They did indeed keep the Aleutian war quiet...no doubt to prevent the WWII Daschles in Congress from causing a national panic for political purposes.

Happy "Washington's Birthday" Day:

The fate of unborn millions will now depend. under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore to resolve to conquer or die.
