General Lear invited the 92nd
Division to call upon his office in

for any possible service or coopera

General Almond stressed import
ance of the individual soldier, in
doing his best for his particular
unit, as the deciding factor in the
general effectiveness of the whole
unit. Each soldier should feel that
he is the best soldier in his whole
squad, that the squad is the best
in the entire company, the COM
pany the finest in the entire battal
ion, his battalion the leader In his
whole regiment, and that his reei-
ment is the best organization in
