No nation will surviveg no nation can retain its exalted place in the family of nationsg no nation can hand down a glory that is Worthy of the name, unless it can count upon the sacrifices of its men and Women. In time of stress a nation calls upon its citizens to give their blood that that nation may be victorious over its 'enemies and stand loyally by its friends. hlany aboard the S. S. SUWANNEE were asked to give their all for their country. They gave it-and no matter how suddenly the gift was demanded -We know they gave willingly. To all of them-the men who died in the service of their country while serving aboard the SUWANNEE We respectfully and affectionately dedicate this War Log.
