I was moved to tears. Thank you so much. For anyone wanting to learn more about the awesome sacrifice made by these men and all the brave Americans at Midway I recommend reading Walter Lord's "Incredible Victory."

...The heroes of Torpedo Squadron 8 caused the Japanese fighters to engage them instead!Yep. The Japanese cover air patrol were all down at wave-top level when the SBD's arrived. Their attack wasn't in vain.

thank you so much for showing this video. I had no clue it was around. Even though I am fully aware what happen during the battle of Midway alot of people forgets not all of the pilots were killed. Some of the torpedo pilots were taken off the ship to get the new TBM Avenger airplanes in Hawaii. These planes then flew to Midway to take part in the action. I read this from George Gay book "Lone Survivor"(of Torpedo 8). I met G.Gay at an Airshow in 1984. Great guy, my hero. God rest his soul.

Anyone know where the score comes for this - it's not in the original. Haunting and powerful.

Brought tears to my eyes as I was not aware of the Torpedo squadron video. I can remember seeing Ensign Gay on the "Today Show" about 20 years ago as well as owning a Life magazine with him recovering at the hospital.
