They have the vision--and the dreams of old men are coming true. I wish I could tell you the great pride and faith and elation the recognition of their spirit gives us. To be an American is today the proudest thing in the world. But even when one is not fighting as one of them--even though he wears another color, he is fighting with the American spirit and the American...

The cat is out of the bag and we have something to work for: our pride demands that we redeem ourselves not only in the eyes of Colonel Applin, but in our own. Today's exercise was the best example of unmilitary drill the Regiment has ever given, and at the supper tables the blame for the many confusions was passed from man to man; the captains told...
