Hollywood Victory Quotes

“Over five hundred thousand Purple Heart awards were manufactured to be ready for when the fighting began. They weren’t needed. And all the Purple Hearts that have been issued to soldiers in every one of America’s wars since have come from that stockpile, mass produced as the medals were in 1945 for the fateful invasion of Japan that never came.”
― Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood Victory: The Movies, Stars, and Stories of World War II
