This is the greatest and happiest Thanksgiving Day in the history of our lives, for we are now soldiers of the land we love so well, standing ready to protect and uphold its sacred Principles. We are to-day thankful for the many Blessing our Ancestors have handled down to us; and it is our earnest prayer that we may pass them on to posterity just as unscathed and holy. May our fair Nation not perish but become even greater, giving to more and more of mankind the blessings of Liberty and Justice and Equality that it has given to us. May we to-day indeed be truly thankful. TROOP ROSTER: Boyce, W. R. Captain Hoover, Fred L. First Lieutenant Ellis, William A.
