Pain is that last quarter of a mile. You feel it, but when you’re through racing, your whole body just feels elated. So the pain is worth it.

Never give up, no matter what.

To live, a man needs food, water, and a sharp mind.

I ended up in the Army Air Corps in the Pacific, operating out of Ayuka field in Hawaii.
