The Stage Door Canteen: “Nothing Is Too Good for the Boys!” Kathleen Thomforde Senior Honors Project Dr. Piehler April 28, 2006 Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes/ Beyond the tragedy of world at strife/ and know that out of tragedy and death/ shall come the dawn of ampler life--/ Rejoice--/ Rejoice that God hath given you a priceless dower/ To live in these great times and play your part in/ Freedom’s greatest hour.1 World War II represents the ultimate fight for freedom, democracy, and the liberation from oppression. Countries banded together in order to demolish the evil propagated by the Axis powers. No longer would humans sit by and watch their brothers be harassed, controlled, beaten, robbed, and murdered by the powerful.
