In memoriam:
“Put more into life than you expect to get out of it. Drive yourself
and lead others. Make others feel good about themselves. They will
outperform your expectations, and you will never lack for friends.”
--Rear Adm. Eugene Fluckey
on Eternal Patrol on Thursday, June
28, 2007
as
Commanding Officer of USS BARB, he had this to say about his crew:
“What wordy praise can one give such men as these; men who ...
follow
unhesitatingly when in the vicinity of minefields so long as there is
the possibility of targets ... Men who flinch not with the fathometer
ticking off two fathoms beneath the keel ... Men who will fight to the
last bullet and then start throwing the empty shell cases. These are
submariners.”
