Summary "Defenders of Democracy" by the Militia of Mercy Gift Book Committee is a collection of writings and tributes created during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. This work serves as a multifaceted expression of gratitude, support, and honor for those involved in the war effort, including sailors, soldiers, and nurses. The book aims to fundraise for the families of the Naval Militia members, emphasizing themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the collective fight for liberty and democracy against tyranny. The opening of "Defenders of Democracy" includes a series of dedications, introductory messages, and letters from prominent figures such as Vice Admiral William Sowden Sims and General John J. Pershing. These early pages set a solemn tone, reflecting on the role of women in supporting the war effort and recognizing the valor of those who serve. The introduction outlines the mission of the Militia of Mercy and conveys the urgency of the struggle for freedom and justice during a tumultuous time. It captures the sentiment of unity among allied nations and invites readers into a narrative that celebrates human resilience in the face of adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
