Worth watching to hear them sing "Come Follow Me" together. Funny

Q: "Did you think during the raid that we'd still be talking about it 70 years later"? Lt. Col. Richard Cole: "You know, I don't think I ever thought about that at the time, it just happened. I think it's very fortunate for one man, me, to still be around talking to you about that after, what is it... 70 years?". These guys are bad ass.

"Mr. Schmitt, a 60-year-old explorer from Berkeley, Calif., had just landed on a newly revealed island 400 miles north of the Arctic Circle in eastern Greenland. It was a moment of triumph: he had discovered the island on an ocean voyage in September 2005. Now, a year later, he and a small expedition team had returned to spend a week climbing peaks, crossing treacherous glaciers and documenting animal and plant life." It is amazing to me that with all of our technology and advancements and our vast population, there are still areas of the globe that remain unscathed by us. I hope it should always remain so. The depths of the oceans should preserve this. I know this is a bit off topic but this paragraph resonated with me.
