Good evening, Carrie. Good evening. Also joining us tonight, Dave Burke,

0:09.4

Good evening, Dave. Good evening. To Steve Przenka who showed us how to soldier,

0:17.0

to Henry DeBour, who showed us how to die, to Glover Johns, who showed us how to lead,

0:24.2

and to all the doughboys, the ground pounders, the grunts, the American infantryman,

0:31.8

past, present, and especially future. To them, this book is dedicated.
