I look at all of these young men and the date of July 1941 and I can’t help wondering what happened to them during WWII and how many of them came home again.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m just finishing a book about the war and it’s always so startling to read how young so many of the soldiers and sailors were! Amazing what guys right out of high school did under awful circumstances.

When I think of all the wars in which our young men have fought, I remember one of the saddest and most poignant places I've ever visited - Arlington National Cemetary. With its row upon row of tombstones, this place was once described as "looking as if Cadmus had reversed his legend and sown living men to come up dragons' teeth." Then I wipe my eyes and curse the waste.
