Project leader Alex Kanakaris is dedicating the book to his high school teacher and mentor, the late Major Arnold Kohn, who served as Chief Intelligence Officer of PO Box 1142. Mr. Kohn was later a teacher at Pacific Grove High School in Pacific Grove, Calfornia.

PO Box 1142 is the amazing true story of the humane and historic treatment of prisoners that helped achieve the U.S. victory and shorten the duration of the war, impacted the cold war, the Central Intelligence Agency, our putting a man on the moon and forever changed the course of history. Because the mission was top secret and not declassified until recent years, the patriotic veterans held their silence for sixty years but are now honored by Congress, the Military and the Forest Service at Ft. Hunt Park, Virginia where PO Box 1142 was, and the story can now be told. This story of PO Box 1142 is just as relevant today as it was when it occurred and it is one that truly touches all the human emotions of war and peace.
