From the book:
"At New York harbor, during the first half of 1919, dozens of ships coming from France delivered thousands of soldiers who, leaning over guardrails, reached out for their homeland as if touching it as soon as possible might transport them, just as quickly, back to the world they had left behind. New York harbor was the place where prayers were answered as soldiers and their loved ones spotted each other across the slowly narrowing gap between ship and shore. It was there that the rolling wave of hope from the Western Front met the rising tide of fear and intolerance back home."
--from Savage Peace, Chapter 8: Sergeant Henry Johnson
