Description
Foreword
This war is done. The guns have ceased their cough and the dead are restored to the dust from which they sprang. The earthbound living struggle on -- snarled in ruthless strife and shabby prejudice.
Once more the needle chatters in the roughened groove of peace.
But in his brief moment of selfless freedom the warrior widened our horizon. He revealed the unity and strength of which we are capable .
This book is more than a record of high achievement. It is of the future no less than of the past. It is prophecy. It marks the altitude to which the spirit of man can soar. It is a portent of what life may be when we have learned to labor, as these soldiers did, for the common good. It will remain a fount of refreshment when the heart grows heavy and the light of hope burns dim.
Howard Vincent O'Brien
