Synopsis
Excerpt from Official History of the 82nd Division, American Expeditionary Forces, All American Division
The 82nd Division gave itself freely for this purpose. 'it played its part in the forward line and knew the privi lege of deadly peril.
The men who came home are conscious of a very great bond of comradeship. The ties between men who have endured hardship and battles together are not easily expressed in words.
We are glad that the 82nd Division contained men of every blood strain in all the races that make up our nation. This Division has learned that an American is one who is willing to give his life for America.
We are glad that we came from every section of the United States. We can not feel prejudices against states that reared our battle brothers. Together we have blotted out the last mental reservations born of the bitterness of '61. Across the memories of those years our hands have met in something lasting.
