You men, as you have prov­ en you are men in every sense of the word, have co­ operated to the fullest extent. It has been borne through in your daily work. Consequently, I have found results and you have achieved those high standards which this school has established. Need I say more, than, "THANK YOU?" At the present time there is a man . . "Uncle Sam," a thing . . . "Democracy," a people . . "The American People," who need you. They need you now as never before in the history of our great nation. So make those sacrifices today so that we might all LIVE IN PEACE tomorrow. Good Luck and God Bless You. FOR THE OFFICERS OF THE DETACHMENT R J. MORSE Major, Air Corps Commandant R. E.
