was on the occasion of the activa­
tion of the 96th Infantry Division,
which he commands.
The activation ceremonies are
recorded elsewhere in these col­
umns, but no reporting can do full
justice to the general’s remarks.
It was a soldier’s talk to soldiers
and was meant as such, but we will
always regret that hundreds of
thousands of civilians throughout
the length and breadth of our
country did not have the privilege
of listening.
It was not so much what he said
—we’ve all heard much the same
in various modification — but the
simple, forceful way in which he
said it that commands not only
respect but some deep thinking as
well.
It is our conviction—a conviction
as deep and sincere as the general's
—that with such officers to lead,
the American soldier will always
stand supreme.
Greetings, soldier!
The Camp Adair Sentry is now
a member of the Camp Adair per-
aonnel.
This induction was made possible
by Col. Gordon H. McCoy, camp
commander, whose letter to this
effect was published in these col­
umns last week.
