:02:09
And so today
you are full-fledged ensigns.
:02:13
Three short months ago you
assembled here from all walks of life:
:02:17
field, factory, office
and college campus.
:02:20
You knew what the fighting was about,
or you wouldn't have volunteered.
:02:24
Each of you knew
that the American way of life...
:02:27
must be defended by life itself.
:02:30
From here on...
:02:32
your education must continue in
the more demanding school of actual war.
:02:37
Wearing the gold stripe of ensign
in the United States Navy...
:02:40
you go down to the sea to fight...
:02:42
in the toughest conflict of all time.
:02:45
Your fellow Americans
share my confidence...
:02:48
that you'll serve the navy
and the country...
:02:50
with honor and distinction.
:02:52
Good luck, and good hunting.
:03:02
Willie! Over here!
:03:07
-Darling, I'm so proud of you!
-Thanks, Mother.
:03:10
-Congratulations.
-Thank you, Uncle Lloyd.
:03:12
Your mother will tell me if the navy
doesn't make use of your abilities.
:03:15
With the proper approach, I could
help you be placed somewhere else.
:03:22
-Good luck in the meantime.
-Thank you.
:03:24
I'm afraid I'll have
to skip your party tonight.
:03:27
Some of the fellows
are having a celebration--
:03:29
But the party's in your honor.
:03:31
-Besides, we have so few days left--
-But Mother.
:03:33
Your friends will forgive you.
You can call them from the house.
:03:40
I'll see you at 10:00.
:03:55
your eyes of blue
:03:58
your kisses too
