Of Soda Or Something.

Grace:
Yeah.

I'm Gonna Look So Cool

In This Uniform.

God, I Can't Wait.

Just 5 More Years,

And Then I Can--

Whoa. Don't Be

In Such A Hurry.

You Might Change Your Mind.

No Way.

I Want The Uniform

And The Plane.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,

Look, T,

Now There's Something

You Need To Realize.

I Mean, You Think

It's All So Cool, But...

It's A Lot More

Than That, Tina.

A Lot More.

Hi.

I Think I'm In Here.

Hi! I'm Tina!

I Saw You On The Airplane,

Remember?

Yeah.

This Is My Sister

Lieutenant Torres,

Call Her Grace.

I Took The Top Bunk.

Is That Ok?

Yeah. Sure.

No Problem.

Maddie Dolan.

Who, The X.O.?

Commander Dolan's Daughter?

He's Second In Command.

That's Right.

So You Are A Navy Brat.

I'm Not A Brat, Ok?

Ok.

A Great Guy.

December 7, 1941.

Our Country Was Attacked

Just After 8 A.M.

Enemy Bombers

Launched An Attack,

And The Arizona

Took A Number Of Hits...

Sank In Less Than 9 Minutes.

It Took 1,100 Crew Members

To Their Deaths.

Pearl Harbor Was Caught

Completely Unaware.

December 7, 1941.

As F.D.R. Said,

That's "A Date

That Will Live In Infamy."

Nice Sketch.
