"There will be a child who will live because men left the security they enjoyed in their home to come to his," Sgt. Stacey wrote in his letter.

"He will have the gift of freedom which I have enjoyed for so long myself, and if my life brings the safety of a child who will one day change the world, then I know that it was all worth it."
