Toward the last the boys had to fight to keep from falling asleep at their wheels. It rained most all the time, and was bitter cold. But we forgot the hardships when we received this note from our Major: ‘Being Americans you were ex- pected to be equal to any demand that could be made upon you, but you have exceeded all expectations. While you yourselves did not enter the firing line, you were each responsible for many other men being more efficient there. Remember that glory can be won at the wheel of a truck as well as at a field-piece or machine gun’.” “Being Americans,” we shall set the same standards in our saving and lend- ing. We may not enter the firing line, but it is our splendid privilege to be “responsible for many other men being more efficient there.” We shall accept this responsibility proudly, gladly. We shall invest to our utmost in the Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan— and do it now. Farewell Reception 70 THE Soldiers of the Foreign Legion at the 71st Regiment Armory, 4TH BT.
