ike u oiLa. qtoutl 5ma.LUt Somewhere in England T AM now up in the wild blue . . . 10,000 feet over England. We are on a practice bombing mission . . . and as we roll through the skies, above the clouds, and on into the sunshiny blue, I cannot help feeling that this is a fine world in spite of all the bloodshed and strife and loss of human life. There is so much to live for — so much to go after in order to live the kind of life one desires. One day the world will be at peace, and then perhaps we who have survived may be able to mold that kind of world for which so many fine young men have given their lives. . . . Today is a great day to be alive — and it would be an even greater day if the world were at peace ... at present it seems to be very far away, but one day the dawn of the new day will be brighter and more glorious — and families and sweethearts will once again be together — this time, we hope, for good. ... If our people could see for themselves they would realize the exact situation that confronts every one of us these days. A few can ' t bring it to an end — it will take every one of the many millions to do it. It will be done, but many young men will have to give their all to make it possible. . . . When this is all over, our leaders should be farsighted and prophetic when they begin laying the foundations for world peace. Every mission I go on, I see planes with buddies in them, go down to flaming destruction . . . and I can ' t help feeling that they may have died in vain. Let us hope and pray, and make certain that they will not have died in vain. Reynolds Marquette 18
