A sign that a Regiment cheered
Just a painted sign on the wall of. an ancient building
in France! "Not much of a- thrill in that9 you'll say
YET a regiment of American,
soldiers, dog-weary from a
long Kike, dripping wet
from an all-day downpour, broke
into cheers at sight of it Yoid
have thought they had come
unexpectedly on a Statue of
Liberty in Brest
That sign represented "God's
country" a glimpse of home
that had gone across the sea to
meet them
When we placed our signs in
the prominent locations in Brest,
Bordeaux, St Nazaire, Nantes,
and the other ports of embar
kation in France, we hoped
they'd be more than merely
messages that let the boys know
they'd find our clothes stylish,
all wool, guaranteedready for
them when they got home
We are glad they feel as they
do about it If those signs of ours
over there give our boys a little
glimpse of "back home" that
cheers, we're more than repaid
even if that is the one and only
thing those sjgns do
