The story of the Samuel B. Roberts and the other heroic destroyer and destroyer escort ships who took on the Jap Task force at Leyte has always been a very emotional thing for me, no matter how often I've heard it. It was a David vs, Goliath battle, and those brave American sailors were punching out of their weight class (Go Navy!) and keep punching until the Japs turned tail, despite suffering the loss of the ship and most of the crew. If that story doesn't make you proud to be an American then nothing will. This is just one of many heroic actions of the US Navy in WWII that need to be remembered for all time.
