The women who wouldn't
 sit and wait

IT ISN'T EASY to say "gOod-by"to to the family, and to friends, and to nice long week ends.
 It may moi be natural for a woman to salute and stand at attention and say "Yes, sir"...
 But ask any Wac # she d change places with any. one in the wOrld-and the answer would be "Now For deep down inside, every Wac knows the enormous satisfaction of being truly useful at a time of critical need.
 The Wac spirit is a gallant spirit. The spirit of women who would rather be in the war, than site ting and waiting for 1t to end.
 The Wac pride is an honest pride. In job well done. In being part of the Army of the U. S.
 You really have to hand t to the women of the WAc....
 For they symbOIize everything that is America.
