"The state of Vermont desires to ex-

people of the state for the splendid, 10y
al and efficient service which you have
performed during the past two years.
The regiment was composed largely Of
men who, for various reasons, were de-
barred from more active part in the
military service of the country, but who
nevertheless, anxious to aid in some way
in maintaining an adequate protection to
home industries, volunteered for this
work, and have given freely of their
time and efforts to maintain an efficient
military force. Its ranks have contained
as privates many of the leading business
and professional men of the state who
had no other desire than to faithfully
serve their state in an emergency To
few it has been valuable training
school before entering the federal army
camps.
"Since this regiment was organized in
June, 1917, it has always been looked
upon as sn efficient force and instantly
ready for any emergency that might
arise. 1t has never been called upon to
perform any serious work, but the moral
effect of such force within our borders
has been of vital Importance.
Every man who has served in its
ranks during the past two years can
always remember with pride his part in
maintaining this regiment.
ITO the officers, especially the COM
pany commanders, is due the thanks Of
the state for their untiring efforts, Civ
ing freely and willingly of their time
and energy with no compensation except
what comes from duty well done.
