Now please don't be alarmed—
My friend, in a battle recently.
Was Hurt and lost an arm
My Son-
Don't be alarmed to bring him
Home with you
Perhaps he could stay and visit
For a day or two
Dear Mom;
Bui Mother, he's not just a friend.
He’s likt s brother, too
That's why I want him with us
And like a son to you.
Before you give your answer. Mom--
I really don't want to beg—
but my friend fought in a battle
In which he lost his leg.
Dear Son:
It hurts so much to say
My answer must be "No."
For Dad and 1 have no time
For the boy who is crippled so

So months go by. a letter comet.
!: says their son has dico.
And when they read the cause of
death:
The shock was "suicide."
Days later when the casket came
Draped in our country's Flag,
They saw their ten lying theta
Without an arm or leg.
