How 40,000 Dozen U.S. Eggs Saved a Philippine Village | United Stories of America®

Jim was responsible for all the supplies aboard a floating city of 4,500 voracious young men. From eggs to pens to equipment weighing tons, there isn’t anything that USS Midway supply officer Jim Reily hasn’t seen, ordered, inventoried, and reordered. Rescuing families threatened by a massive volcano eruption in the Philippines reminded him why it mattered.
ABOUT "UNITED STORIES OF AMERICA®" DOCUSERIES
In the course of 47 years of service, the USS Midway carried aviators, sailors, marines and a powerful idea: that freedom is worth defending and preserving at home and far out at sea. Together, their personal stories from missions of combat and hope aboard this iconic carrier remind us that her legacy endures - and that the spirit of service and sacrifice lives on in each of us.
