They, like their victories, will be remembered as long as our generation lives. After that, like the men of the Confederacy, they will become strangers. Longer and longer shadows will obscure them, until their Guadalcanal sounds distant on the ear like Shiloh and Valley Forge." - James Michener, "Tales of the South Pacific," 1946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
