谨以此书，献给曾为抗战负累重重的中国人民，并向为捍卫自由和平远赴重洋的美国老兵，为保家卫国英勇奋战的中国老兵，致以最崇高的敬意！The book is presented, with great respect, to the Chinese who suffered a great deal in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the American veterans who traveled across the Pacific Ocean to fight for peace and freedom, and the Chinese veterans who fought and sacrificed for our country.
