W.. , al 6 -QI il' 1-if .ns , To the memory of those men who have given their lives unselfishly in the struggle for worldwide freedom and democracy while serving in the U.S.armed forces during the Vietnam war, and to those men who are still being held in enemy lands, prisoners of a foreign war, we dedicate this Cruise book. We shall never forget our brothers who have given the supreme sacrafice of their lives so that others might be free. And, is our pledge to continue to pursue every means avaiable in our efforts to free those who are being held captive against their will.
