WWII Navy Veteran Ernie Vantosky shared his story of being a Petty Officer 1st Class aboard a PBY-5A Catalina, or more commonly referred to as the "Ugly Duckling." While talking with Bob Regan, Ernie said, ""They don’t understand the one-ness of the nation, had it not been for that, we would have never accomplished what we did." Bob turned Ernies story into a wonderful song that embodies the music of the the era and highlights what Operation Song is really all about. Sadly, Ernie passed away in 2019.
