  "Anybody aboard ship gets credit for whatever happens. You're one little cog in the big wheel of war."
  –Ray Shockley
  
  Perfectly stated for a war that spanned the globe, and involved 16 million Americans in uniform. Also perfectly stated from one of the Greatest Generation...everyone gets credit because it takes everyone to win a war on two fronts, as they did in 1945. This particular little 'cog' took part in some truly amazing stories of WWII...from the U-boat war of the European theater, to the vicious and suicidal battles of the Pacific...
