Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from "C" Company, Our Book: Of the Company, for the Company, by the Company
But 'i am grateful for more than your being a reason. I liked your unspoken compliment to my biscuits and doughnuts - when you came back for seconds. I still have the souvenirs you gave me, every one, and my Christmas watch is my most treasured possession. I enjoyed your songs and your stories and I miss them yet. I am still homesick for the house you built for me and for'the things you salvaged to help make it comfortable. And the conferences you held in my kitchen while I cooked and you sat on the boxes and discussed everything from styles back home to peace terms, have helped me to understand people better and to love you more. No distance would be too great for me to go to serve chocolate at one of your evening smokers if you could all come in before taps. And the highest complim'ent you paid me was when you made me understand you wanted me at your ball games. I'm saving my bones for another game some day, for I'm sure you will still be patient with a beginner. But the greatest thing you did. For me was to share with me your friend ships. Nothing greater came out of this war than the friendships of the army. To have seen this and to have felt it and even more, to have shared it with you - well, it was more than worth anything I may have done, any hardships I may have endured. It was even worth the heartache you left me when you waved your farewell from Brest harbor. If I have tried not to lose you since we came home it is because it has been hard to let you go.
