ed fox, a marine machine gunner, john crawford, a navy captain, and hank kudzik, also a navy veteran, the panel. >> i can't tell you how excited i am to be here today. thank you, wes, and jim, and the american veterans center. i've been here all day yesterday. i was at the wounded warrior experience. it's tremendous to read about history. as we heard from general richie yesterday, it's more important that we're hearing it from those that participated in history. and we get to hear it from some phenomenal and amazing men and women that we've heard from the last couple of days. the mofford marines, i never heard that story before but i'll be reading more, how can you not be interested after that? what i thought i would do is just give you a brief overview on the battle of midway. but really keep my portion short, because i think we all want to hear from these three gentlemen that were there. and the can offer much more information than what i can give you. but i will say, in the last five to ten years, we're very fortunate, some fantastic books have been written on the battle of midway.
