The Duty That Lies Before Us, Part Three

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." 

-attributed to Admiral Yamamoto, on the attack of Pearl Harbor

War has come to America and the boys of the Cavalry are off to fight. Life is changing forever, for each and every one of them. Who knows what the future will hold as war begins... in the desert... so far from home?


The Duty That Lies Before Us

Part Three

War in the Desert

1942-1943

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth

my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower,

and my deliverer, my shield, and He in whom I trust.

~Psalm 144:1-2~
