Col. David "Mickey" Marcus was thrust into greatness and immortality by the extraordinary turn of history which linked his name with Israel. His biography. "Cast a Giant Shadow." which will soon be published. provides a fitting memorial to this son of immigrant parents. who as a graduate of West Point. a great soldier. a holder of the Distinguished Service Medal. and. at the time of his death. commander of the Haganah forces that broke the siege of Jerusalem. epitomized so much of the American dream and the kinship between the United States and Israel. In this history of both these nations he will always hold a heros place. I ask unanimous consent that there be printed in the RECORD a letter on this subject dated August 1. 1962. which is being sent to the members of the class of 1924.
