"CETTER: TCfOUR SOLDIER BOYS By V. L. Edwards, Burnsville, N. C. Dear Boys: I have the addresses of I a great many of you and! have promised to write to' all of you. So far I have written to very few. Just haven’t the time and the materials for so many let ters. I got. an idea from a friend who was planning a “round robin letter” to the soldiers. He planned to write a long letter and have people sign it, have it multigraphed and copies mailed to each one whose address he had. Another good idea in a paper: A lady had writ tente general interest let ter on home news and the paper had printed it; but her letter was too brief to be of much interest. I do know however, that if more of us don’t do more writ ing to you that some day you will be asking us to explain why. The Record reaches sev eral hundreds of you and the editor has been so kind as to allow me space to write to all who receive the paper. Most of you know me and some day will be our friends and cus tomers when another lull of peace comes. iJvigMo begin by telling yoiPtm "f can about your folks at home; how the war affects us, what we are doing, how we regard war. There are some things which we cannot write about and there is much on your side that you cannot write to us. On the whole, most of us understand more about conditions than you might think. We know for instance, that the war must end some time. It can’t last indefinitely. It doesn’t dif fer so much what you do to the enemy nor what the enemy doeg to you, there will be a stopping place. Most of you will be coming home and will live out long careers as family and bus iness men. If you hear that things in the home governments are net running smoothly and justly, if you deplore strikes and wastefullness and absenteeism, dra ft dodging and the fickleness and negligence of one-time friends, then perhaps you can get sqrlace out of the old adage: “every dog has his day.” After every great war, the ex-soldiers run political and economic matters for several decades. They do it with their or ganizations and votes. Bad as it is, this is your last war. Your great grandfather may have fought in Mexico, grand father in the War Between the States, your uncles in the Spanish-American War qnd your father in World Var No. I and with you in World Wa* No. 2. If, as some say, America has a foggy foreign policy, over which our wisest citi zens are worrying already, then perhaps ours are no foggier than those of oth er foreign nations at war. la n i>. ' "si T :*■ 'A What news will Gen. Eisenhower 7 %rfet from us? "* '**s•• jr ,■ ’ M it / / : \ ■.. You know now what we’ve heard from him. We’ve heard that Eisenhower and his Americans have hurled themselves like a thunderbolt against the bristling defenses of I Hitler’s Wehrmacht! f 1 l # We've heard that they are smashing at our foe spar ing neither steel nor sweat , nor blood in one final, furious * assault that marks the i supreme military effort of this War! j And what news do Eisen hower and his men expect r i from us? Men and women of Amer ica what the Invasion is to our fighting men, the sth War Loan is to us at home! ? For us, as well as for 1 them, this is the crisis the time for tremendous, over- Jj whelming effort! Make no , mistake!
