This
book is dedicated to the men who served with the 25th Infantry Division,
and in particular to the ones who participated in this battle during
this time period.
In
addition, I wish to give credit to the now defunct "Stag Magazine"
for a photo I selected to use in my book, of which without this magazine
this book would not have been published.
I
wish to offer a very special thanks to Larry and Stephanie Karter for
contributing unselfishly and without reservation to the photography
aspects of this book.
I
would also like to thank Mrs. Tracey Smith, Publisher of First Lady
Christian Magazine for Women, for being so instrumental in getting this
book printed.
Photographs
for this book were selected from the personal collection of the author
as well as other books and sources.
The
large map found in this book, as well as other supporting material was
furnished by Wally, one of the curators who works for the "Tropic
Lightning Museum" located at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii.
This
book was converted to a website by Frank R. Farmer, son of the late
Lt. Col. Frank S. Farmer, who served with the 27th Infantry Regiment
at the same time I did.
