Merriam Press World War 2 Biography. Dayton Edie was my good friend
and a bona fide American hero. He seldom spoke of his own combat
from fighting in World War II and the Korean War, and on those rare
occasions that he did, I listened intently. Although his own
actions rarely came up, now and then he would discuss historic
events and famous people encountered during his lifetime, and this
story is as Dayton told it. Some of Dayton's experiences occurred
when he was an operative for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
and the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), covert branches of the US
government. The stories you find here about those covert activities
are based on vague narratives and hedged comments from Dayton,
combined with the results of years of in-depth research. Read, and
decide for yourself if he doesn't deserve to be remembered for his
courage under fire, his leadership, his strength, and ultimately
his kindness, since history has all but forgotten Dayton Edie. 110
