It is the anguish of waiting, the agony of struggle; it is killing and being killed, maiming and being maimed; it is leave - taking, absence, fear and hope,
joy and despair, devotion and hatred, escape and death; it is the exultation of victory; it is the bitterness of defeat; it is the
incalculable aggregate of all the blood, sweat, and tears the war is costing the thousands who fight and the millions who suffer the war's desolation.
