their last respects to this excellent
young man, who in the prime Of his
life has departed from our midst.
We all wish to pay tribute to the
memory of Sam, this hero who has de-
parted from US forever When the
call came for him to serve his country
he heard it unf1inchingly and was
happy to join the colors and serve his
country and do his part for liberty and
justice. The same unfailing courage
that marked his daily life, the sacrifice
he was always willing to make for
others, also asserted itself on the battle
field on that fatal day in October, when
a bullet from the enemy ended his
young life. He was young man of
lSterling qualities, noble, beautiful
character and liked by everyone who
knew him, and great was the sorrow
among his friends and in the whole
community when the sad news came
that he had received his final summons
The hearts of his relatives and friends
are sad, but he, with all the other
heroes who have made the supreme
sacrifice on the battle fields across
there and laid down their lives that
liberty and justice shall prevail, have
created for themselves lasting tribute
worlds history and their deeds are
forever inscribed in the heart of the ,na-
ton. Farewell to you Sam. and may
your soul be forever with God in
Heaven
