Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: You will
doubtless think me very presuming to write
to you again at such an early date, but as
1 am lonely tonight thought that I would
take the liberty to write to the letter box
again.
Well, Armistice day is passed with due
honor lie us hope, to all soldiers. who, for
the sake of their country, fought and died
on the battlefield of France. They answered
the call of humanity and lost their home,
parents, friends and loved ones to fight for
the right and for the sake of suffering
people in a far off land. He entered the
battle and was shot down in the full glory
and strength of young manhood, in the very
prime Of life, with perhaps, his brightest IL
lusOns and dearest hoes still unreallzed
He died. his friends and relatives in far
off land. No mother to press last KISS
upon the handsome upturned brow. He was
laid to rest in unknown grave, among
thousands of others, soon to be forgotten
No! Never will they be forgotten, for if
we still read and study about the Roman
soldiers, those warriors of old, how much
more likely will we be to remember, praise
and honor our own American soldiers OF
today. The father and mother of these hon
Orable young men can smile as the tears
flow down their cheeks and say, He died
death of honor fighting for democracy anu
his countrys sake"
We can never show too much respect to
the soldiers, whether dead or living. Let
us remember, and not forget them ana the
good that they have done. l, myself, haG
two uncles who went across to France, ana
I feel honored that they were. allowed to

would be much pleased TO receive AeItels VI
cards from them.
