No names have been given to these people and there were no thoughts to treat these people as good or bad people. Just people who are living at the time the story is written.

Verrazano Narrows Bridge – The Eulogy

 

An hour later, the sun came out and the beauty of it hit Colonel Patterson hard. Still on top of the north tower of what was left of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, it seemed to him that the cold sunlight signaled a new beginning.

Patterson had come pretty close to not seeing the sun come out from behind the clouds. The whole bridge had nearly collapsed. The engineers had placed explosives on both sides of the towers, severing many of the supporting cables so that the towers would not be pulled down once the middle cables pulled away from the structures. It had worked, but the towers had swayed like crazy and several pieces of unsecured equipment had fallen off as the whole middle structure of the bridge fell, demolishing everything below it.

The fighting was still going on at the Global Terminal, with several hundred Chinese Red Guards refusing to surrender and about to encounter another 5,000 defending soldiers who were on the move toward the fighting. The first two Chinese container ships loaded with food now destined for starving Americans were secure. They sustained considerable cosmetic damage, but they could easily be repaired.

Marines, waiting on the cranes with ropes, had dropped onto the top of the containers as the ships had stopped, and there was a massive firefight with both sides taking heavy casualties.

This first ship seemed to have the most enemy soldiers on it, and many of the upper containers looked like colanders with hundreds of bullet holes. There were thousands of dead bodies all over the ship as the Marines took control from the bow area and moved along the ship inside and out, killing everyone in their way. At one point, there were over 10,000 soldiers fighting aboard the superstructure, many in hand-to-hand combat.

The second ship carried far fewer enemy soldiers, and once this ship was secure, the men aimed into the melee on the first ship and one-by-one the enemy numbers decreased. By the time a gunship came overhead and started pouring fire onto the vessel, white flags began to appear from the deck areas of the first ship.

A tough fight was going on the third and fourth ships, and the two Gunships raked the ship from end-to-end, literally blowing pieces of steel container wall in all directions.

Within thirty minutes of sinking the aircraft carrier, the invasion of the United States was over. Much of the food on the upper levels of the ships would not be of any use, but starving people wouldn’t care and the damaged containers represented a very small percentage of the total cargo.

It took another 48 hours before the men in control of the defense of their country met again in the headquarters of the whole operation—a warehouse at McGuire Air Force Base. Two other large warehouses were filled with injured, and a third was already packed with bodies for burial. There had been very heavy losses.

***

 

The President flew in on Air Force One—the Huey flown by Buck and Barbara—with the First Family aboard. As usual, Secret Service agents cleared a path for him to enter the meeting and he was still the only politician in attendance.

Dozens of Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine base commanders had been flown in, most of them catching a ride on the food aircraft returning to McGuire to collect the base’s last reserves of rations to go out to the civilians. There were 200 men and women in attendance as the President and the First Family entered. A rousing round of applause greeted the President who acknowledged it by smiling at the large group as he took his seat in the front row.

Coffee and freshly made Danish were offered to him, the base’s kitchen now fully operational, and everyone took their seats as Vice Admiral Rogers took the podium as the most senior officer in attendance. Outside, all the aircraft that had served in the defense of the invasion stood in proud formation around
Baby Huey
on three sides to welcome the President. Even Preston’s damaged P-51 was in the line. It wasn’t a big formation of aircraft. The three F-4s with five of the captured Chinese fighters were still flyable and were on one side of the entrance way. In the center was
Baby Huey
—still “Air Force One” to most of them—and on the other side stood
Lady Dandy
, the three P-51s, and the P-38. In two lines behind them were the ten C-130s, and in front of the warehouse entrance were the two AC-130 Gunships with a space in between them, and behind them were the two HC-130 Tankers. Even FedEx was represented, as well as the Cessna 210 and the Pilatus flown in by Mike, John, Sally, and Pam.

Oliver and the growing puppy, as well as Little Beth, who had begged to see her puppy again when she found Mike at Seymour Johnson, had joined the fly-in. As Beth ran into Martie’s arms, Preston realized that he had a couple of new permanent family members.

Will Smart had now achieved three flights and was getting better at flying. The President was happy to see Will and family again and shook his hand, congratulating him on overcoming his fear. The four kids immediately got together and obtained front row seats.

“Mr. President and family, members of all the U.S. military, and civilians of a very proud United States of America,” started Vice Admiral Rogers. “I want to first congratulate you on a job well done. We have thwarted the enemy and now I believe the real work begins. We have many brave men who have given their lives so that we can sit here in victory today, and I would like to ask Colonel Patterson to come up and remember our fallen.”

Colonel Patterson stood up from the front row, walked to the podium, and received a standing ovation. He put his hand up for silence. “Mr. President, First Family, Vice Admiral Rogers, members of the U.S. armed forces, and civilians of the United States, the reason we won was purely because we came together as a nation to fight an enemy who wanted to destroy the freedoms we have championed around the world. It took the enemy 30 years to formulate and carry out a plan we destroyed in three weeks. It is over now. The rebuilding effort will take decades before life across planet Earth gets back to normal.

“We will not know the full impact of this invasion for a long time to come, but we do know there are millions of dead people everywhere. From tomorrow forward, all our efforts will go towards saving lives and rebuilding this nation—getting the fundamentals of law and order back so that people can once again live in a peaceful society. It wasn’t my knowledge that won the war. I followed the plan of a man I met only two weeks ago—a man who could see the whole picture, thanks to many others each giving him a piece of the puzzle. From this information, he put together a plan that was given to me a day before his death, and as a soldier, I followed my orders to the letter.

“The man who saved the United States of America, General Pete Allen, is not here with us today, nor are any of his family members. But for many others, he will be remembered as the man who ultimately planned the defeat of the Invasion of the United States of America, and the rest of the world.”

The room all stood and a long and enthusiastic ovation was given to the man who, just three weeks earlier, was unknown to most people. “There are many to thank, and thanks to bravery, brain power, and guts, we can begin to rebuild our nation. I want to remember our fallen and will call out the numbers from each area of the military. From our brave United States Navy, the Submarine
Dauntless
, 37 crew members lost their lives in New York Harbor. Seven members of the Destroyer fleet were killed. Thank you for the sacrifice of your men, Vice Admiral Rogers, and for their important part in the final attack. These men helped destroy three of the five military vessels that entered New York Harbor. We mourn the loss of Colonel Grady, a man who, when asked, got Army troops moving within hours and was the first Army to enter New York by road. He was killed by aircraft fire, and we mourn Colonel Grady and the 1,473 brave Army soldiers who died along with him. Thanks to the Marines under Colonel Mickiewicz from Camp Lejeune, and Colonel Mathews from Quantico. The Marines have played an important part in the defense of this country from Day One. We lost 486 brave Marines. Casualties from our incoming forces returning from outside the United States are included in these numbers. Finally, the United States Air Force, under the command of General Pete Allen, lost 597 brave Air Force personnel who gave their lives for their country.
