Some of the best advice I've had comes from junior officers and enlisted men.

We shall never forget that it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds.

Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.

The U.S.'s major strength factor and weapon is its economy. If you cripple it, you cripple the military.

Through the skill and devotion to duty of their armed forces of all branches in the Midway area our citizens can now rejoice that a momentous victory is in the making.

The battle of Iwo Island has been won. The United States Marines by their individual and collective courage have conquered a base which is as necessary to us in our continuing forward movement toward final victory as it was vital to the enemy in staving off ultimate defeat.

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.
