The following letter was given to Soldiers transitioning back to civilian life at the end of World War II.  At the Wainwright Foundation we feel the sentiment is timeless and in some ways even more applicable today.  We hope you find its content valuable enough to consider incorporating its into your transition counseling as your Soldiers and officers leave the military and continue serving their nation in varying roles of civilian leadership.
