Dedication - it's shorter on the postcard:

Postcard Bulge: Ardennes 1944 is dedicated to the men and officers of principally the U.S. Army and Air Force who stopped the Nazis – specifically Chester Schultz and Ivan Bull (inf.) and Roy Soleau (+, pilot) – as well as my children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna in the hope they will never suffer another world war.

The more we learn about the Second World War, the better our chances that it will be the LAST world war.

War must be confined to history books and games.
