A Heroic Moment

It was a very picturesque moment. The Marine Corps band began to play “God Bless America” and was awarded standing ovation when he got into the East Room of the White House. Baker expressed his emotion by saying “I was thinking about what was going on up on the hill that day,” he later added  “I was an angry young man. We were all angry. But we had a job to do, and we did it. My personal thoughts were that I knew things would get better, and I’m glad to say that I’m here to see it.”
