\ SOLDIER'S PHILOSOPHY j
By PRIVATE A. I. OOVKLL
wltary Corps, Camp Jackson, 8. C. > , .
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|

>u getting gray worrying about the
rhyou left behind? Thank God that 74jB
e has given her to you. He is
larding over her in your absence -CTj
id you are still hers. Thousands of
'*? """'lira Kara hn? Ola mom. -
y of their brave soldier boys who
e no longer theirs.
Do you think you are not receive
g-a squafre deal from those who sur- ;
>und you? If your life be spared Jjji
>u, time will heal this wound and ;3g|
1 others. And if you are destined -ffiafl
follow the thousands of your com- "m?|
ides into a hero's grave, then why ->ajP
orry about insignificant thingsT*
Are you going over the top? Then
j your damndest. 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- . " V
>m see fit to spare your life and re- "ffigl
irn yon to the beloved ones at home,
id yon embrace yonr old sweetheart ,
id join her in a happy onion of mat- 2381
