- Description
- Foreword: The primary purpose of our book is to provide a pictorial record in time sequence of the journey of conquest, work projects, and related activities of our battalion in the Pacific Ocean Area. In no other way is it possible for us to have a true and compiled portrayal of our proud accomplishments, notable achievements, and fine associates. The past two years have cost immeasurable energy. We have forgone many civilian pleasures and activities. Accordingly, all this has greatly delayed the progress of our life's planned work. It is our sincere hope that this record be as complete and accurate as possible. We trust that it will give you many fine, complete, and proud recollections of true and sincere fellowship. With this goes a great satisfaction. The contributions of our battalion have enabled the armed forces to successfully travel the road to complete victory. We cannot measure our accomplishments in personal sacrifices or monetary gains or losses, great as they might have been. Rather it is for each of us to accept proudly the responsibility of our work and be humble in our acceptance of the glory in a great achievement. Let us proceed to use wisely the long and costly victory.
