M ELETEAN Our Contribution to Victory In Flanders' fields, where the poppies bloom.” There were many of our boys who left home and country for the shores of shell-torn France. There were many of our .boys who walked and talked and played with Death, out there amidst the cratered convulsions and hlood-muddcd hell-holes of Chateau Thierry, and St. Mihicl, and the Argonne forest and elsewhere. There are sons of River Falls Normal who were privileged to die the noble death, who sleep forever under the skies of foreign lands. Words but feebly express the obligation we ever owe to them. They met their duty. And we proudly reckon among our veterans, those who have come back scarred, wounded, torn, and poisoned. Brave men. ever will they carry with them the marks of service. Some have been honored rightly by receiving the D. S. C., the Croix de Guerre and other governmental rewards. Yes, you men who were sent over, you have been enriched by every experience the battle afforded. You have fought and you have died, you have been maimed, gassed, been sick, weak and hungry; you have been humbled and glorified in the walk through the Valley of the Shadow. All honor to you—Our Veterans. Over hill, over dale as we hit the dusty trail.” This old marching song of the artillery is equally applicable to the experiences of the dusty doughboy, our medics, our engineers and our sailor boys, scattered in every training camp in this country and abroad, drilling, striving, yearning. It was hard not to get over or into the fight, yet the discipline that comes, when you’re in the army now.” taught you to do vour duty as it was laid out and never to reason why. Fullest praise to you. our men in cantonments, officers’ training camps, chemical plants, naval training stations. S. A. T. C. units or wherever you were, on land or sea.—ready to do. even to the utmost, when needed. Some died in these places too. under unavoidable hardships. Truly, these stars of gold arc as brilliantly emblazoned in the eternal blue of memory, for they. too. gave their lives, their all. All glory, then, to the khaki and the blue of the River Falls Normal, our soldiers and our sailors, men of every rank, our contribution to Victory. X 1919 X Page Twenty'five
