Every night I watch the sunset and soak up every last ray of its warmth, and send it from my heart to yours.
Rafe I’m pregnant… I didn’t even know until the day you turned up alive… and then all this happened… I haven’t told Danny… I don’t want him to know. All he needs to think about is how to do this mission and get back alive. Oh Rafe, all I ever wanted was for us to have a home and grow old together, but life never asked me what I wanted. Now I’m going to give Danny my whole heart… but I don’t think I’ll ever look at another sunset without thinking of you… I’ll love you my whole life.
Most nurses would’ve gone on to somebody else instead of keeping their fingers plugged in your artery.
When the action is over and we look back, we understand both more and less. This much is certain. Before the Doolittle raid, America knew nothing but defeat. After it, there was hope of victory. Japan realized, for the first time, they could lose and began to pull back. America realized, that she would win and surged forward. It was a war, that changed America and the world. Dorie Miller was the first black American to be awarded the Navy Cross. But he would not be the last. He joined a brotherhood of heroes. World War II, for us, began at Pearl Harbor, and 1.177 men still lie entombed in the battleship Arizona. America suffered, but America grew stronger. It was not inevitable. The times tried our souls, and through the trial, we overcame.
If I had one more night to live… I’d wanna spend it with you.
