Aus dem Klappentext

I went to Dover--the military morgue--during the Vietnam war when I was escorting a soldier in my unit to his hometown for buriel. By mistake, I walked into a long building thinking it was the administration section, but instead discovered rows and rows of bodies of American soldiers who had given their lives for their coutnry. Our country's sacrifices in all wars should pass the "Dover" test. Caring Amricans need to feel that our soldiers who end up at Dover--killed in Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan--did not die in vain.
