''Today the Government made their move. A devastating one. They call them "nuclear missiles." Very dangerous things. I hope that everything's alright down there.''

There are various accounts of the experiences of Lieutenant-General Benjamin Faulkner, Major-General Miami Hodgson, Colonel Alexander Townsend and General Harry Miller. For example, some state that Miller's former platoon was not part of the Federal Armed Forces, but were a band of mercenaries. The same accounts imply that the mercenaries were employed by the Government and eventually incorporated into the Army as a separate unit. Other biographies of Miller say that his platoon, instead of being executed, were exiled to an undisclosed location, and that Miller was retained for interrogation.
 
After what became known as the Liberation War, Benjamin Faulkner and Miami Hodgson were posthumously awarded the Cross of Valour, the National Legion of Honour, the Medal of the Phoenix and the CompanionCompanionship of the High Order of the Liberation. They were buried ceremoniously in the Tomb of Heroes on July 4th, 2158. A monument was erected in their memory in the centre of the ruined city of Bridgeport. Many travel to the ruins to pay their respects to the two national heroes. Hodgson's diaries and journals, with the consent of Colonel Townsend and General Miller, were published in 2160. However, the final published version was heavily edited out. This has resulted in several events being altered and even omitted. Unfortunately, the original notebooks on which Hodgson had written her diary have since been lost, so it is unlikely that the questions that have arisen as a consequence to these alterations will never be answered. Nevertheless, the published documents have become a major primary source for historians.
 
Directly after the war, Alexander Townsend <small>CV NLH MPh CHOL MP</small> resigned from service in the Liberation Army and the Liberation Governance Council appointed him Secretary for Education, a post he continued to hold under the new Oasis Landing National Directory. He organised a program to un-brainwash the populace, and began the establishment of a curriculum based on the values of mid-21st century humanity. After a ten-year tenure as Secretary for Education, Townsend resigned and retired to his home in Oasis Landing's Garden District. He never consented to be interviewed about his personal wartime experiences. At the age of 50, Townsend travelled into the Wastelands, and never returned. He is presumed dead.
 
General Harry Miller <small>CV NLH GPC CHOL MP</small> remained in the Liberation Army, becoming Supreme Commander. He later was appointed Secretary for Defence. In this position, Miller began the transformation of the Liberation Army, establishing the Oasis Landing Peacekeeper Corps. He also became Chief Peacekeeper after resigning from the Directory. He continued to serve the city in the field of defence until his tragic and heroic death during a battle against Government insurgents at the age of 56.
 
These individuals were at the forefront of the pursuit of liberty for the people of our world. May their names forever live on in history.
