"BE A SOLDIER"
”1 am only a, soldier’’ - wrote a man recently to a repre
sentative of the press at the end of a news item he had sent
in. That remark is often heard in casual conversation, too,
and somehow apologetic expressions of this kind creep into more
than one communication from the ranks of Uncle Sam’s Army.
It cannot he that the traditions of the Army, or of its
uniform, are responsible for this attitude, for among honorable
things these hold a prominent and honorable place.
What could be more honorable and noble than to be a defen
der of your flag and country, a member of a great body of men
who form the mainstay of law and order?
History is replete with the exploits of men of the Army.
The Army led civilization westward, unfaltering, and protected
it after it had secured a firm foundation. The foremost explo
rers of the nation were Army men - Fremont, Kearney, Lewis and
Clark, Pike, Greely with his Arctic expedition, and scores of
others.
Be proud that your country allows you to wear it's
uniform. There is nothing to be ashamed cf in being a soldier;
quite the opposite. Don’t be overbearing or lordly, but show
a quiet pride. When you hear that Army men have accomplished
a great feat, that they have again proved themselves as did the
members of the ’’Round -the-Woild-Flight", stick out your chest.
"I’m a soldier.’ Thatg the Army I belong to .”2
Act like a soldier; talk like a soldier, and when the
occasion arrives, fight like a soldier. Be a soldier.’
