“I prayed like you to survive, but look at me now. It is over for us who are dead, but you must struggle, and will carry the memories all your life.” – With the Old Breed, Eugene Sledge
“I wanted to know how it was to love somebody the way Pop loved Mama. At least I wanted a few days, or weeks if I could get it, to know what it was like to be married. I wanted to be able to say ‘I love you’ a few times and mean it … Lena agreed to marry me. We set the date for July 10th, 1944.“
