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.
All honor to the officers but I
