Quote from Adam in Hogan Is My Grandfather
Pops: [on tape] It was October 8, 1942. I signed up for basic training and was shipped off to Alabama. The heat was brutal, and we lost a lot of good men along the way. It was summer. Our boat was headed for Florida loaded with 1,000 crates of pants. Problem was, no one knew which were the small pants and which were the large pants. It was up to me to make sure everyone got the right size pants. We docked at dawn, and by God, we delivered those pants, which fit perfectly on the bravest soldiers this world has ever known. Adam: [on tape] Turns out, heroes come in all shapes and sizes. I know Pops didn't storm the beach at Normandy, but he still put his life on the line. And that's why he's my hero. Doc: That got me. My gramps was a cook on a Navy barge that never left Hudson Bay. Adam: So I don't fail? Doc: Son, that was the best damn term paper I've ever seen. And I suggest you keep making more.
