think, however, more pictures on
the Negro troops should be filmed
and showed in orientation classes
and publicly"
IT'S TOY DULA, Lenoir, N. c.,
Post Message Center, Il would like
to see The Negro Soldier shown to
| the public, because the public should
know something about the accom-
plishments of all peoples that make
up a democracy. 1t makes our own
soldiers know more about what our
forefathers have done in previous
wars, and it builds morale for what
we are now fighting for. We need
to see more of such pictures"
"Should Be Shown South"
Pvt. WILLIAM HUTT, Los An
geles, Calf, Post Band, "a swell
picture. 1t should be shown in every
movie house in the South"
T/Sgt. RUBY LEE SCALES,
Houston, Texas, WAC Company
Clerk, 81 think The Negro Soldier
was fine picture, the best orienta-
ton film 1 have ever seen. had
never seen picture before that
told what the Negro soldiers ac-
complishmentS have been in all
American wars. 1t boosts the morale
of Negro soldiers, and gives the
soldiers of TODAY better sense
of what we're fighting for"
Pvt. LESTER WATERS, Texas,
Post Headquarters Det, "a fine
picture, with plenty of history to
back up the fact that we deserve a
place in our country's hall of fame
as well as the people in other races.
We should see more such pictures
and everybody should see that one "
TI5 RUBY WOODS, Pittsburgh,
Penn, clerk and typiSt, Receiving
Office, Station Hospital No. l, "I
thought The Negro Soldier was
very nice, but it was not as extern
sive as it could have been. say
this because I feel the Negro soldier
is doing more towards the winning
of this war than he is given credit
for. This sort of picture is a morale
builder when we see our men in
action, and I further feel that we
should see more of what the soldier
of today is doing. 1t makes us think
that we may have something to
fight for
"Enlightenc / the Soldiers
S/Sgt. CHARLES BATTLE, E
Chicago, Ind, Acting 1st Sgt Post
M P Detachment, "I think it was
a swell picture 1t enlightened the
soldiers of today on things which
are going on. doubt if more than
40 per cent of the men in my outfit
knew that Negro soldiers were in
any other combat units than the
92nd or 93rd Divisions. This picture
has shown them men in the all
corps, anti-aircraft, and ia all
branches of the service, fighting
their country's battles on all fronts
The men came back to the quarters
with more courage and more de-
termination to be better soldiers"
Sgt. N. A. PROCTOR, Boston
Mass, Chemical Warfare, ''The
films technique was great. It was
good to see spiritual values inter
mixed with the military contribu-
tions made by our people to the
nations growth and security. en-
joyed the picture and think it should
be shown everywhere to better un-
derstanding and cooperation fol

T/4th EDITH LINZEY, New York
N Y, Post Headquarters Distribu-
ton Section, &c The Negro Soldier
in my estimation, is great morale
builder I feel that we, as Negro
soldiers, should see more of these
pictures. It makes you feel as though
you're in the army for something. >
Greatest Morale Builder
Cpl. WINNIE HAMILTON, San
Antonio, Texas, Dental Clinic No. l,
| "I feel that if this picture, The
Negro Soldier, is shown in all mill
tary reservations it will give SOL
diers in general something to think
about, and it will make them see
that we're fighting side by side for
the same goal. It's definitely the
