A photo taken by an unidentified photographer on a plane following Dan Huston while under heavy Kamikaze attack. The photo was taken moments before the warship Colorado received a Kamikaze hit on November 27, 1944, in the Leyte Gulf in the Phillipines. Huston of Laguna Beach was a Navy pilot in the Pacific theatre in World War II.

I ran across this image today and was struck by the truly frightening nature of what some of our veterans have experienced. It never hurts to repeat what brave men and women they are.
