An announcemen+ fhail had in il' +he ring of 1'ru1'h, was heard by a fense, weary nafion aroused from resfless sleep. This was fhe real fhing. Confirma+ion was on i'l's way.

We remember ihe greal' losses inflicied u.pon our enemies as a resull' of +ha+ delerminaiion, buf our own losses have leff an even more vivid impression on us. Can we erase 'rhe darkness of Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, +he Philip- pines? Can we wash away 'From fhese pages ihe slrains lefl ,by 'I'he bloodshed +here? Whal' of D-Day and our prayers? Are we +o 'forger l'hal', foo? Can we burn The casually lisfs which were born of fhe smoke of baH'le from fhe shores of Normandy all +he way +o Berlin? Can we
