The Public Pulse To the Observer: I have been rending for the lost three days about a couple of of ficers who were rescued from the Japanese. They deserve honor for doing their best honor to whom honor is due. But w h at of the men behind, the men who were in there fighting, who went through the death march and Jap concentration p r is o n s ? I was lucky, my boy was on the other side fighting. But I have watched a mother's heart slowly break under the strain for four years. It would give her a new lease on life if she could hear just a line telling her that her boy was still alive, and she is only one. There are thousands of mothers and fathers waiting for just a word to com fort them. Why all the honor and glory for one or two when they were all in there fighting? Of course there were those in the draft who had to go, but thousands volunteered.
