William R. Anderson Quote

I know there were many prayers of thanks offered up at that quiet moment. Let us pause also in tribute to those who have preceded us, whether to victory or failure, I spoke into the microphone, and in our earnest hope for world peace. I glanced at Jenks and took a deep breath. Now stand by. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Mark! 2315 Eastern Daylight Savings Time,August 3, 1958. For the U.S. A. and the U.S.Navy—the North Pole!
