Army Day

These young men OF A merl
were the tillers of cur free soil, and
the artisans in our productive indus
tries-our artists, and scientists, and
students; our thinkers and dreamers.
The world never thought such a
peaceful land could turn so COM
pletely to the arts of war
But when millions of young
Americans HAD to fight to preserve
the country they loved, they became
the BEST fighters in the world.
The grateful country that gave
them their hard and dangerous tasks
in this war also gave them the finest
weapons, and continuing and abun-
dant supply of them
1t gave them the strength and In
spiration of a good cause.
That is why the army of the
United States is an organization to
be PROUD of.
1T KNOWS that what it is fighting
L for is WORTH fighting for, and
that what it is coming back to in
consequence of it's victory is the free
and dignifed and wholesome way OF
life mankind has aspired to ever
since the beginning of time.
The army of the United States is
made up of our beloved young men
of America.
Army Day is THEIR DAY.
God bless them for the full meas
ure of devotion with which they have
served and preserved their country.
God protect them in the hard and
grim tasks that remain to them, and
speed the victory which they have
made possible, and SPEED THEM
HOME.

THE magnificent army of the
Il United States is conducting It's
own observance of Army Day this
year in a manner that is quite Suf-
ficient to the serving of the purpose
thereof.
This grand organization Of young
Americans has been welded into a
military establishment of incompara-
bic efficiency and irresistible power.
1t has victory over Germany so
surely in its grasp that its campaign
in Europe is in the closing phases OF
the final assault upon the most for
midable military barriers ever
erected against invasion.
1t has long since disposed of Italy
as a belligerent power. 1t has re-
gained the Philippines from the
japanese in the Pacific, and is pre-
sumably fastening tenacious grip
on the japanese home islands.
The American people are lnordl.
nately proud of this magnificent and
resourceful and victorious army, and
dedicate their annual day of tribute
to it with an overwhelming sense OF
gratitude and affection
They should indeed be proud OF 1t,
and be grateful to it, and have atfec-
tion for it.
TT IS made up of the young men and
L boys, the sons and brothers and
fathers and husbands and loved ones,
of all the homes in this wonderful
land.
We had not thought to turn the
energies and talents of these flne
Americans to the narrowing and de
structive and bloody business OF war.
This was land of PEACE, or so
we wanted it to be and most ear
nestly strove to make it be.
