Sgt. Robert Barry, speaking for all Kalamazoo military veterans, delivers a speech on the first anniversary of the allied victory in World War II. Barry says that veterans returned to find that their country was filled with bickering, confusion, and shortages. Rather than being allowed time to gently return to their old lives, he says, veterans were forced to become involved in their communities and in the nation to repair their country. He also asserts that while veterans may celebrate victory they must also dedicate themselves to ensuring a lasting peace.
