Dear Friend:-
Your son is a memberof the 328th Infantry.
In obedience to the Commanding Office of his Regiment I send you this word of greeting. Your son is in training to take part in a heroic struggle to defent the rights of mankind and secure the future peace of the world. You can help us make of him the best possible soldier consecrated to this high duty. Your cheerful letter will sustain him in hours of trail and help him to win this fight for right. Let us keep in min the words of a father whose son is "over there". "I never dream anything so sublime; I never imagined a destiny so great as that which he has reached. He is wearing the uniform of an American soldier, he is interposing his arm and his breast between his country and hist country's enemies Nay! He is clad in the livery of Heaven. He is fighting for God."
Write me at any time I can serve your son.
Sincerely,
W.C. Cowart, Chaplain. |
