So, about a year later my navigator ran into some guy and he saw him and he knew something
about it and they got together and he was a news reporter and he said he did television and
documentaries is what he did and he was involved in them. This story ought to be told and they
got together and they went around about way over a year or so of negotiations they got this gal
Grace Popizano, she was a Professor at San Jose State University in Journalism and Television so
she got into it and she decided she was going to make it. She got PBS to make a documentary
on it. PBS made a documentary on Jitterbug crew mission to Iwo Jima and that is what it is
called. Later I met this gal out there in Santa Fe, Virginia, she wrote a book and it just came out
about 2 months ago. She wrote Jitterbug crew a whole book on us on all of our deals in the
Pacific and how each man story and is called the "Brother's at Day Break." Put out by Amazon
and Amazon handled it and Barnes and Nobles. So, it just came out about a month ago. It was
brand new and I took some copies out there to our reunion. She was at our reunion. I just
came back from our reunion out there that was Neal talk to you about. She was there and she
told us about the book and I got her to autograph my copy. So I got autograph copies of it.
Mr. Misenhimer:
How was the morale in your outfit over there?
Mr. Ebel:
We were young, we were kind of carefree you know... we had good morale, there was no
problem there. We were all young in our 20's and so we took it in stride.
