Sgt. Hillard H. Moore
Writes From Italy
‘Tve asked my father to sub
scribe to The Journal-Patriot an
other year for me. Even though
I’m in Italy I have been receiving
my copy regularly and I appre
ciate it much. I get a lot of mail
from Wilkes, but I’m always glad
to see the paper.
"I think the people of Wilkes
county are doing a fine job for the
war effort. It does me good to
see how they go over the top in
W’ar Loan campaigns. The harder
we all work the sooner this thing
will be over.
“I enlisted with the company of
the National Guar-1 from North
Wilkesboro in September, 1940.
I’ve seen lots of interesting things.
This coui try must have been
beautiful to tourists before the
war, but it i.s not so good as a
soldier sees it. .^s for me, I’d
much rather see the snow capped
Blue Ridge. But until wb teach
these germans never to start an
other war, I’m more than willing
to stay over here.”

Pvt. T. W. Cooper
Sends Poem
With a dedication to The Jour
nal-Patriot, Pvt. T. W. Cooper
sends the following poem by air
mail from overseas:
THIS IS WORTH FIGHTING
FOR
I saw a peaceful old valley
With a carpet of corn for a floor,
And I heard a voice within me
whisper:
“This is worth fighting tor".
I ea'w a little old cabin.
And the river that flowed by the
door.
And I heard a voice within me
whisper:
"This is worth fighting for".
Didn’t I build that cabin?
Didn’t I plant that com?
Didn’t my folks before me
Fight for this country before
was born?
I gather my loved ones ’round me,
And I gazed at each face I adore;
Then I heard that voice within me
thunder:
“THIS IS WORTH FIGHTING
FOR".
