Soldier boy, as you go about perrming your strenuous dally tasks, coding over yonr lot, losing weight id losing strength, worrying about la thtnir and that Inst trv a little '"{ trospection. You will find a sooth- ' g tonic in the summary of your 'Vm atus as compared with what fate is decreed to others like you. You have taken an oath to do and e, if need be, for your country. You . tve thus willed over to the governent that which is dearest to you? 'e itself. Bearing this in mind, all else is sy. "Where there is life there is >pe." You still have your life, so - JwSB >n't lose hope. Do you think you -vjjS e being worked to death? What it if you are prepared for death? Ta ou say you hate to be the goat when !?? comoa to "K. P." duty. It is easier . [J2| lan shoveling coal in Hades. Are >u getting gray worrying about the rhyou left behind? Thank God that 74jB e has given her to you.

Anything worth )ing at all is worth doing well. If 'v: >u walk through this fire of Hell unirmed and unscathed, then nothing . ill give you more satisfaction in ;ars to come than the thought of ivlng put in your all for the cause : Democracy. If you have lost an arm, be thankil that you still have another. If Jft >u've lost your sight, remember that ilton produced his greatest works ter ne nau lost nis vision, xryouTZ3?i e doomed to die in the performance ' your duty, then remember that lousands of others as good as yon ive made the same sacrifice and that >ur name will be inscribed together ['jflgj ith the others as brave as you on the : J 'eatest monument that any nation any people ever carved. -;'M And should God in His infinite wis- .
