"Many articles were written about the band playing “Nearer My God to Thee”. These brave souls knowing that they soon would perish continued to play with love of their fellow human beings. The radio operators Jack Phillips sitting and his assistant Harold Bride standing next to him continuing to send "SOS" distress signals as the mighty ship is breaking apart until the power in the radio room failed." ~Tom Baker

Valor never dies as long as brave souls, willingly give their lives for our freedom. Some may take this sacrifice for granted, while parents of these soldiers pray for the safety of their children. These young men and women who protect our great country in battlefields throughout the world fight for our freedom. We must pray for their safe return, and give honor to those who have fallen.

"To take back something said without thought, would be like my grandfather and the surviving crew from the RMS Titanic trying to recover artifacts from the ship, the day after it sank in glacier infested waters." ~Tom Baker

“We may want to be more like telegrapher Jack Phillip telling Harold Bride to leave the radio room while calmly tapping out the distress signal that fateful night aboard the Titanic. What greater love can one give than to sacrifice his life for another.” ~Tom Baker

"Instead of the 1997 film directed, written, by James Cameron with Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane creating a love story and a large diamond with a beautiful song “My Heart Will Go On” sung by Celine Dion. What about the real love story that took place that night between the passengers themselves, and many crew members knowing they would also give their lives. Adding another meaning for “SOS” Service, Obedience, and Sacrifice." ~Tom Baker
