The first thought of qur brave lads on the battlefronts with Pershing, when there was a chance to send a message home by a comrade returning disabled or upon a furlough, was: "Tell mother I am trying to be brave and faithful," and rthat true mother would send a message back to her boy: "Tell Billy his mother wants him to be true and faithful, and then nothing is difficult." What better message than that mother's message for any of us "to be brave and faithful in the Store and Home, or out of it."
