Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!

The year Samuel Moore Collins, my daddy, died, I wrote about his class at the Citadel. He was in the Class of ’44, but after their sophomore year, their lives drastically changed. They left the Citadel to fight in World War II. Some returned to finish their education, and others chose another school.

After interviewing several of his classmates, the “Sandlapper” magazine chose to print his article on these heroes.

Here is part of their story in “The Class That Never Was.”

General Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.”
