To the Gold Star
Mothers who so kindly loaned photographs of their heroic sons and
daughters; to the organizations who preserved records of Sioux City men
and women during their absence in the uniformed service of their
country; to the Historical Society or the State of Iowa in assisting to
furnish data of Sioux City Gold Stars; to those who were asked to
criticize the original manuscript of this work and weigh its merit and
power; to all of these and their loyal spirit this book is dedicated.
The complication of data and the writing of the allegory is among the
duties of the historian of Edward H. Monahan Post of The American
Legion. An outline of the history of the post from the date of
organization to the period in which this work was published is presented
in the closing chapter. To the authority for expressing the composite
thought of ALL Sioux City ex-service men and woman Edward H. Monahan
post has no certified claim. It seeks therefore to express the thought
of gratitude that has cheered it to its high endeavor through the most
commendable support of all Sioux City. |
