"Not he alone, nor the family that gathers at his table –
But all men everywhere, fighting for Freedom’s cause,
Are richer for his work.
For the food he does not buy is theirs to have…
In camps, in ships on every bloody sea,
On battle fronts where food is life itself….
And in those dark and hungry lands now being freed –
Where food is more than life…
Where food means tyranny’s long hoped for end.
The seeds of Victory are planted in his garden…" – An unattributed poem engraved on statue dedicated to World War II Victory Gardeners
