PsZSlUDL TO A PERMANENT PEACE
Army Day —April 7 —is of great importance to every
peace-loving American. It proclaims our determina
tion. as a nation, to remain a power Lor peace. It offers
to us, as individuals, opportunities to share in this
vital cause.
Preparing the way for permanent peace calls for
strong men and strong nations. It is imperative that
America retain certain basic military forces until
international co-operation and understanding can be
assured.
Our War Department offers four ways in which
you may serve. It may be either in the Regular Army,
the National Guard of the United States, the Organ
ized Reserve Corps, or the Reserve Officers Training
Corps. Only when these have been built up to full
peacetime strength will this nation be afforded an
adequate degree of protection.
On Army Day you will have a chance to review
these great military organizations. You will see
young men who are making known through action
their determination for sound and lasting peace. You
• can do your part by supporting their vital program
in your community.
