"Grown-ups said us kids could help our country win the war. Eat more corn. Give up sugar. Buy Thrift stamps. Collect prune pits. After a whole year doing this sissy stuff, we still hadn't won. I wasn't old enough to enlist, but this summer I'd do something dangerous. Something tough and brave." --George Callahan, age 12
