Admiral Nimitz--The Man

On Christmas Day, 1941 Admiral Chester W. Nimitz arrived at Pearl Harbor to take command of the devastated American Base.  He was dressed in an unfamiliar khaki uniform, too big for him.  Khaki was new to the Navy and Nimitz had been used to Navy Blues.  He looked like anything but the answer to the Pacific Fleet's problem.
But as history records Nimitz WAS the man for the job.
Admiral Nimitz prayed this prayer:  "God grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless".  Now you know!.......Medicineman!
