Battle of Midway Reflections

From 4-6 June 1942 the Pacific Fleet fought the Japanese and turned the tide of war in the Pacific. I'm most touched by the dedication of Torpedo Squadron 8. There was one survivor but their gallant but suicidal attack brought the Japanese air cover to low level allowing the dive bombers to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Who else reflects on the courage of earlier generations?
