After having deployed to Iraq with the 116th Brigade Combat Team-I now fully understand what the word *Sacrifice* means. Our WWII hero*s are the epitome of *Sacrifice* and have forever set the standard for what it means to *Serve Proudly.* I appreciate Stewart Portela and Sam Walton*s work with this book and only hope that the current and future generations read and embrace our wonderful AMERICAN tradition to SERVE!
