field know that we at home are behind
them until the Stars and stripes are
waving over Berlin.

listed men in the audience VINO were
without uniforms were asked TO stand,
one by one the men sat down as war
stamps were bought to pay for their
uniforms
Captain Anderson, of Camp Lee,
who stated that he had been in the

then asked IL there Was in the audience
a girl or boy without father or mother,
and II two such children would come
to the platform he would like to pre-
sent to them two war savings stamps
