Sacrifice in World War II

During the American Revolution Patrick Henry worked along side George Washington to spark a successful revolt against the British.  He helped organize the revolution and encouraged others to fight against tyranny.  His eloquent words and speeches are historic.  Patrick Henry is the ultimate symbol of sacrifice.  His  Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death! speech is legendary.  Here is another symbol of sacrifice.John Robert Fox was a member of the 92nd Infantry Div. during World War II.  His segregated unit fought all over Europe during the war.  He was sent to an Italian village called Sommocolonia for protection. In addition, he volunteered to remain in the village when safety appeared achieved.  In the following days the enemy soldiers, disguised as civilians, returned to re-take the lost land.  He was outnumbered and defenseless against the well equipped enemy.  In order to assist the Allies  J.R. Fox  ordered artillery fire on his exact coordinates. His sacrifice    helped the Allies achieve permanent victory in the Italian village.   Patriots like John R. Fox should never be forgotten.
