So it is particularly necessary to look at the home front very carefully. If one talks to soldiers who are returning from the war zone or if one happens to have had the privilege of having been in a combat zone. and can supplement that experience with.conversations with others who have been there. he finds an astonishing unanimity of opinion as to the emotions which are aroused in returning soldiers when they reach this country once more. One who has been in the Middle East. for instance. and who has seen not only the sufferings caused by war itself but who has seen the refugee French. the refugee Yugoslavs. the refugee Greeks. the refugee Jews. and all the other miserable people who have been hounded from pillar to post. who have had their near and dear ones killed. who have been utterly impoverished and ravagedif one has seen the hatreds that exist over there. and then returns to this countryif. for instance. he returns by airplane. and looks down from the window of the plane and sees below him the coast of Florida. and. after he lands. sees once again American young men and American young women and gets the first glass of milk that he has dared drink in a long whileI mention those incidental thingsabove all he has the feeling of hope. the feeling of the worth of the individual man. the feeling of the promise which the future holds for this country. and he says to himself. "Yes. there is a civilization worth saving. and it is right here in the United States of America." Those of us at home can profit by the emotions of the returning soldier. Another thing which naturally occurs to one who has been on the other side of the ocean and who. for instance. has tried to move tanks from one place to another. who has been up all night and all day. has not had much to eat. has not had any sleep. and whose sole preoccupation has been Vp get the tanks moved from one place to anotherI mention that as an illustration. I could have mentioned one of a hundred other thingsis the idea that the winning of the war is the biggest thing that there is.
