let me recall two things from this trip, to give the audience a flavor of how this is coming from deep in my heart. I do not want to come out as a blubbering baby, when I already admitted that Colonel Holmes made me cry at his dinner table with myself and with the young law student, the son of the gentleman from Arkansas [Mr. Dickey]. But you recall, when we went to Hawaii, to the central investigative laboratory, where all the remains were identified, that we went into this room that was almost like the nave of a church, it was so quiet. And here on all these white sheets set on tables like cots were the pieced-together remains, like jigsaw puzzles, of our heroes, Marines, Army-Navy pilots, Air Force officers.
