00:00:35,501 --> 00:00:40,472
            NARRATOR:           
   Early in 1943, an envelope   
 from the War Department arrived

5
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:45,143
    at 1032 North Main Street   
   in Waterbury, Connecticut,

00:00:45,244 --> 00:00:48,380
 the home of the Ciarlo family. 

7
00:00:48,481 --> 00:00:50,848
    They knew it was coming.    

8
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:53,718
      There were three boys     
         in the family.         

9
00:00:53,819 --> 00:00:56,054
 Two were exempt from the draft:

1
00:00:29,295 --> 00:00:32,998

00:01:05,063 --> 00:01:09,200
              MAN:              
   "Here lie three Americans.   

5
00:01:09,301 --> 00:01:11,402
   "What shall we say of them?  

6
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:14,873
       "Shall we say that       
      this is a fine thing,     

7
00:01:14,974 --> 00:01:18,877
     "that they should give     
 their lives for their country? 

8
00:01:18,978 --> 00:01:23,448
 "Why print this picture anyway 
     of three American boys,    

9
00:01:23,549 --> 00:01:25,851
    "dead on an alien shore?

00:00:09,375 --> 00:00:12,377
         (waves lapping)        

2
00:00:56,722 --> 00:01:01,026
        QUENTIN AANENSON:       
       We were all granted      
      about ten days' leave     

3
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:05,530
       for our final visit      
          to our homes.         

4
00:01:08,567 --> 00:01:12,270
   This was around the middle   
         of April, 1944.        

5
00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:14,705
     So I went up to Luverne    

6
00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:20,178
       to see my parents,       
    my brothers and sisters.    

7
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:24,849
   And it was a very difficult  
     time, because I knew...    

8
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:27,585
        I had the orders        
        in my possession        

9

1
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:23,455
    ¶ If I could be with you    
       one hour tonight ¶       

2
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:27,759
        ¶ If I were free        
   to do the things I might ¶   

3
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:31,663
      ¶ I want you to know      
      that I wouldn't go ¶      

4
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:35,199
    ¶ Till I told you, honey,   
      that I love you so ¶      

5
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:39,271
    ¶ If I could be with you,   
       I'd love you long ¶      

6
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:43,040
    ¶ If I could be with you,   
      I'd love you strong ¶     

7
00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:47,745
     ¶ I'm telling you, too,    
   I'd be anything but blue ¶   

8
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:51,916
    ¶ If I could be with you    
          for an hour ¶

   (quiet piano music playing)  

3
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,188
            NARRATOR:           
       On August 3, 1944,       

4
00:00:57,190 --> 00:01:00,892
   in the skies over the town   
       of Vire, in France,      

5
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:04,195
  the law of averages caught up 

6
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:09,000
   with fighter pilot Quentin   
 Aanenson of Luverne, Minnesota.

7
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:12,203
            AANENSON:           
   I was flying the "Tail-End   
       Charlie" position,       

8
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:14,739
    which means the last one    
     in the line of flight,     

9
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,574

1
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:15,847
        (wind whistling)        

2
00:00:24,056 --> 00:00:27,192
       (machine gun fire)       

3
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:30,495
  (machine gun fire continues)  

4
00:00:44,209 --> 00:00:46,444
         (men shouting)         

5
00:00:56,655 --> 00:00:59,491
           (shouting)           

6
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,641
        (wind whistling)        

7
00:01:20,312 --> 00:01:23,180
          RAY LEOPOLD:          
 In the process of this battle, 

8
00:01:23,182 --> 00:01:30,588
     we took about 18 or 19     
        German prisoners.       

9
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:36,294
  A young man approximately 24  
   years of age turned to me,

00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,754
         (bird singing)

00:00:37,603 --> 00:00:41,205
               ¶ ¶              

3
00:00:53,885 --> 00:00:57,622
           SAM HYNES:           
    The world contains evil.    

4
00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:59,824
 And if it didn't contain evil, 

5
00:00:59,826 --> 00:01:04,729
we probably wouldn't need to try
     to construct religions.    

6
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:08,399
    No evil, no God, I think.   

7
00:01:08,401 --> 00:01:12,003
 No, of course no evil, no war. 

8
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:14,806
         But this is not        
       a human possibility      

9
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:16,307
   that we need to entertain.   

10

1
00:00:02,468 --> 00:00:04,336
              MAN:              
              Yeah!             

2
00:00:05,171 --> 00:00:08,840
            NARRATOR:           
        On July 15, 1945,       

3
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:10,174
      the USS Indianapolis,     

4
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:14,512
    her repairs now complete    
  and ready to go back to war,  

5
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:17,516
         received orders        
    to pick up special cargo    

6
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:19,551
  at Hunters Point, California. 

7
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:25,256
          MAURICE BELL:         
     'Course, we had no idea    
       what the cargo was.      

8
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:28,426
         Well, there was        
   all kind of rumors went on   

9

1
00:00:05,321 --> 00:00:08,539
  THAT I WANTED TO FIGHT MY WAR 
           IN THE AIR.          

2
00:00:08,541 --> 00:00:12,643
       THERE SEEMED TO BE       
 SOME SORT OF AN APPEAL ABOUT IT

3
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:14,379
    OR A SENSE OF EXCITEMENT,   

4
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:16,498
    SO THAT WAS MY OBJECTIVE.   

5
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,018
      SO WITHIN THREE WEEKS     
        OF PEARL HARBOR,        

6
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:22,253
    I WENT OUT TO FORT LEWIS,   
           WASHINGTON,          

7
00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:24,922
 TO APPLY TO THE ARMY AIR CORPS.

8
00:00:24,924 --> 00:00:27,775
       I WANTED TO BECOME       
        A FIGHTER PILOT.        

9
00:00:27,777 --> 00:00:30,262
    AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE,
