sample quote
The U.S. Eighth Air Force launched its bombing campaign against Nazi Germany, one of the largest, most important and most devastating strategic initiatives in the annals of warfare, on this day in history, Jan. 27, 1943.
"I knew what it meant to look my own fear in the face and do my duty because the lives of my crew and the destiny of my country depended on it," Eighth Air Force B-17 bomber pilot and future Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry wrote in his eponymous 1990 autobiography.
"War tested me. But I had survived. And the experience had given me not only a broader perspective on life, but a confidence in myself I had never known before."
