10th Anniversary Thoughts – Reflecting the Generations

the long grey line

Over the last ten years, The Days Forward has gathered a tremendous number of stories. These stories are as unique as their authors. To our authors: thank you. The Days Forward could not, and would not, exist without you.

At another level, however, their stores echo across eras. The stories of friendship, of families separated, of danger, and of joy in survival, service, and reunion would be as familiar to veterans of the First World War as they are to those who waged the Global War on Terror. In time, every class produces its war heroes, its quiet workers, its exhausted fathers and mothers, its unknown servants, and its famed leaders. To our readers, then: enjoy the opportunity to look not only into one class’s past, but into all of our futures. You will see these characters again in different forms, striding the future’s battlefields, or – just maybe, walking down the sidewalk.

    Dear Chris:

    I echo Geoff Prosch’s words of praise and thanks. And, again, nice to have finally met you at the Class’ 12 Oct 2024 Vietnam Wall Ceremony in DC.

    Best regards & BOTL,
    Bill
