David T. Ząbecki and Douglas V. Mastriano - Pershing’s Lieutenants

The editors dedicate this book to the institution we spent our adult lives serving. In doing so, we borrow from the words originally written by Rudyard Kipling.

To the United States Army:

I have eaten your bread and salt.

I have drunk your water and wine.

In deaths ye died I have watched beside,

And the lives ye led were mine.

Rudyard Kipling, from Prelude
to Departmental Ditties and Other Verses
