civilization.
AS an individual, your part in the
world war has been an important
one in the sum total of our achieve
ments. Whether keeping lonely
vigil in the trenches, or CALAMITY
storming the enemy's stronghold.
whether enduring the monotOnous
drudgery at the rear. or sustaining
the fighting line at the front, each
has bravely and efficiently played
his part. BY willing sacrifice of per-
sonal rights; by cheerful endurance
of hardship and privation; by vigor,
strength and indomitable will, made
effective by thorough organization
and cordial cooperation. you in
spired the war worn allies with new
life and turned the tide of threat
ened defeat into overwhelming vic
tory.
With consecrated devotion to
duty and will to conquer, you have
Loyalty served your country. BY
your exemplary conduct standard
has been established and maintain
ed never before attained by any
army. With mind and body as clear
and strong as the blows you deliver
ed against the foe you are soon tC
return to the pursuits of peace. In
leaving the scenes Of your victories
may ask that you carry home YOU
high ideals and continue to live a,
you have served-an honor to thu
principles for which you have tough
and to the fallen comrades you hav,
left behind.
1t is with pride in our success
that extend to you my sincere
thanks for your splendid service t,
