These are the times that try men's souls . . . Thomas Paine, 1776. Perhaps every generation has the time in which A its collective soul is tried. Certainly the post war generation is undergoing such an experience. Peace marches in Berkley, terror in Saigon, interminable discussion in the parlors of Statesmen. -A. . The words of Statesmen, the explosions of terrorists and the actions of the long-haired set, all receive great attention from today's public, but there exists still another demonstrator todayg one who as an individual causes little comment and who receives only scant attention. This demonstrator comes from many geographical areas, from all walks of life. His age, educational' background, race, and religion are as varied as is humanly possible. Q His diferertces, marked as they may be, are as nothing compared with his similarities. He invariably has a sense . of duty, which is the. prime motivation for his actions. V He has a belief in the democratic process. He proudly' wears the som.etimes maligned title of patriot. He obeys the laws and upholds the principles, for which his country has long stood, with dignity and honor. ,He is 'a team, man and performs many functions. ' He tends boilers and fixes machinery, he is a cook, a secretary and an accountant. He is a skilled aircraft, mechanic and an excellent electronics technician. With' munitions A he is superb and men trust their lives with him daily. As a combined entity he runs one of the greatest fighting machines on earth and yet ministers to the need of all 3000 of his component parts. He is almost the perfect creature. I His interrelated parts are completely dependent upon each other and ,operate almost completely free of friction or ' deterioration, yet perform their total function 7 magnificently. This composite American does not exist except as portrayed in this book, because he is imade up of individuals, individuals who are willing to voluntarily submerge themselves A into the conformity of the military in order to guarantee their ideals. N . On the following pages you will receive an impression , of this demonstrator, a potpourri of pictures and words which help toshow the individual tasks and faces of this composite . demonstrator for theucause of freedom.
