What You See, What They See, and What No One Sees or Everyone Who Did Something Feels They Did Nothing.

"I was watching Ken Burns The War and the footage of the Naval battle in the Pacific was playing and I thought "What the hell ship is this guy on that he can film this thing." Then I realized that while I was in battle if there was a break of more than 2 seconds I was watching the battle around me.

Most vets say they didn't do much. Most guys will say that others saw worse, until he remembers what he did and where he was. I had dozens of men in my sights and some fell during the firestorm around me. Not sure if they fell from mine or others but it was more than once, maybe twice, I had men only one ounce of pull away from death. Still I feel like I didn't do enough or as much as others."
