FOREWORD
SOLDIERS of the 607th Tank Destroyer Battalion:
This memento of our labor and sacrifice, of our teamwork and cooperation with the combined arms of
our Army will take on increasing importance in our lives as the stress of battle grows dim and the
struggle for a better world, socially, economically, politically, and religiously goes on. In the carrying
out of your assigned missions there will be trials, there will be triumphs, there will be disasters, for you
individually or as a member of the group with whom you may be associated. You may be faced with
great personal decisions. This eternal struggle is life, men, and the pursuit of happiness, of liberty and
of truth. I know that the strength of soul and of character which you have found as part and parcel of
the 607th, that which you created by your everyday acceptance of risk and responsibility plus your
loyalty and devotion to duty, will help to light your way. And then in the hush of the evening of life, as
individuals we can proudly proclaim: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have
kept the faith. I have achieved ‘TOTAL VICTORY’.”
