Purity of Purpose

A single minded approach to your occupation.

Unencumbered by doubt.

A sense of belonging and value.

Regardless of difficulties or adversity believing and feeling you are where you should be.

Are you there yet?

Capt. Jerry Yellin, from Fairfield, Iowa, flew the final combat mission in World War II. World War II veterans visit Iwo Jima for the 70th anniversary 2/21/2015 in commemoration of the end of World War II.  From the interview:

Ten percent of the nation served in uniform, the population of America was 160 million people. 16 million of us served in the military; 8 million young women became Rosie the Riveters and built the airplanes and the tanks and the boats.  The population of America served the nation as well.

Everybody was at war, there was a purity of purpose, which was to eliminate evil. We did that….all of us…the highlight of my life was serving my country in time of war.

At the time of this interview, Capt. Yellin was 91 years old. Sir, Welcome Home.

Since watching this interview, I discovered Capt. Yellin, passed when he was 93.  I say again - Sir, Welcome Home.
