OREGON STA rE LIBRARY 2 9 1943 we yet have A rock foundation on which to build our house of the four freedoms! A nation of people, who have by now proved that — in the sum total cf their intelligence, their instinct, their bravery and their belief in themselves—they possess a might that is invincible. We have the realization of our many weaknesses. But we know, thank God, that they are over-shadowed, as they always have been, by our strength. Thus, now. during a test which time will prove the greatest we have yet faced, or are likely to face, for the survival of a nation and a creed, we have proved — That with more humility and yet with more confidence than we might ever justly proffer in the lusher times cf peace, we have cause — at Camp Adair today; and throughout this world today — TO OFFER THANKSGIVING, as Americans! The Sentry flat? has been altered slightly h ith the insertion of a reu insignia—or haven’t you noticed? 1 he four leaf clover of the Ith Army re places the old IV Corps insignia. Kinds pretty, don’t you. think? It seems that three of the units whose insignias grace our flag have turned to nature to provide the inspiration.

November 25, 1943 I Thanksgiving Message From Our Post Commander We should be thankful: That we live in a country that is ever cognizant of us as individuals. That we live in a country which is planning ahead for the day when the present conflict is terminated and the interests of the discharged soldier, his replacement into soeietj’ and his future are being considered. That we are supported by a large mass of willing civilians, who not only are sacrificing much in the way of conveniences and luxuries, but are foregoing rights, such as holidays, vacations and good living conditions, to do everything in their power to furnish those things necessar.v to keep our forces on the offensive and thus bring this conflict to a successful close. That we in the Army Service Force are given the opportunity to serve in the armed forces and relieve the actual combat forces of much of the drudgery, head aches and administration necessary to train their uni.ts and carry out their missions. That our country has not been invaded by ground, sea or air, and that our families and dependents are adequately provided for and free from injury from our enemies. That we are prpvided with military leaders who are gifted, capable and free from politics and are demon strating their abilities on all the active fronts, after many years of devotion to their duties and preparation. That we had a Regular Army capable of furnishing leadership in meeting the emergency, and civilians will ing to devote their leisure time years of study to assist that Army in this grave crisis, together with business men willing to assist, at great sacrifice to themselves and their families, in augmenting the services by their knowledge and experience. In fact, that we live in a flexible, progressive nation and not in a subjugated, retarded, strife-torn country under a dictator’s heel. That we are Americans. —Samuel D.
