Here is to Commander Ernest Evans, a Cherokee man from a reserve. The bravest man in the Navy on this battle. A true Indian Brave.

He inspired Ziggy and the rest on, to - in the 'Follow Me' tradition of the Marines - follow him - and so they did; and so the Center Force was turned-back, and MacArthur and his young men lived.

The only Medal of Honor awarded that day. And correctly awarded.
