We recently paused to remember the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Europe. Today, we pause again: This time to remember the 65th anniversary of the Battle of the Philippine Sea, during which a friend won the Navy Cross. We would tell you more about what he did that day, but he is modest and says, “I was just doing my job.” And so, we pause again, to thank him and all the men who fought with him on that day, not so long ago, for doing their jobs.
