A wall of love for our men, struggling in the mud and in the blood at the front, to lean on. A WALL OF LOVE! Not the kind of wall Berger sought to create in Wisconsin and failed, thank God. Not a wall of doubt and skepticism. But a wall built on solid foun- dations. A wall of love—LOVE—none other will do.
