ITI-l a mixture of pride and sorrow in our hearts, we respect- fully dedicate the Crossroads of 1945 to those nine Brighton boys who have given their lives in our combat against tyranny, and to those whose fates are as yet concealed under the words, missing in action. The whole nation honors our war casualties. Those nine gold stars on our service flag take on even greater significance for us when we realize that they stand for boys whose shouts have echoed through Brighton's hall-boys who sometimes neglected homework for a good movieaboys like those we all know. Nine gold stars--symbols representing young lives, offered for the cause of freedomalives that might have been filled with success and happiness. For the families of those boys, what a blighting of hope those stars represent! Of the blue stars, three represent Robert Behnke, Edward Crone and Gerald Smith, all of whom are listed as missing in action, and Paul Basye and Russell Hopcraft, prisoners of war. We pay tribute to these young heroes. Recompense we cannot give them, we can only thank them with all our hearts and resolve that these honored dead shall not have died in vain . We must make sure that future generations of Brighton boys, and of boys all over the world, may live happy, useful lives in a peaceful world.
