Dear Members of the Red Cross,
Crystal City, Texas.
Just a few lines to let you know
that I’m in Fort Riley, Kansas I
was assigned to the Military Police.
I loft Crystal City on August 14,
passed my physical examination in
Fort Sam Houston. I was transferred
here and I like it allright.
I’m glad to be in the ‘Wmy. We
have a lot of fun and we go to a
dance twice a week.
We are all good soldiers. We at-
tend Church every Sunday and pray
for the boys over seas and our folks
back home.
Last month I was promoted to Cor-
poral, and two weeks ago I got my
diploma as First Cook.
I read in the Zavala Sentinel about
your good work. I show the boys the
paper and they like it and we all
thank you for your help to win this
war.
We are doing our part, too. We give
10 percent of our pay and we are
very glad to do so.
Give my regards to all the people
of Crystal City and Carrizo Springs.

source of all efforts to divide us and
create hates and dissensions.
We must not be led astray by those
who are seeking their own personal
gain or the fulfillment of their ambi-
tion in this war. or the satisfaction
of their grudges and hates. We can
not even afford to spend time hating
them. We have our job to do—and
we must think straight to it.

them into practical application—not

victory rests on our banners, but
