"I beg to inform you that there are boys here from the largest cities in the country who have been here a long time and never have received as much as a card from the numerous organizations in their home cities while I have had letters from Lanett Service Station and only been here a month. The boys all admit that they have to take off their hats to Lanett for the spirit the folks at home show in backing up the boys." HOBSON G. HEGGOOD "And if it so be I will stand on the vine clad hills of sunny France and give my life for a cause that is just and right." EVANS MCGHEE June 14, 1918. _Eagle Pass, Texas_ "Our motto is 'Over the Top and give them H--' and you can take it from me that is just what they are doing. Our boys are fighting like our grandfathers fought back in the sixties and they are making for themselves a name which will never be forgotten." DAVE HOLLOWAY. September 21, 1918. _Musician, 167th Inf. Band, Somewhere in France_ "And I am glad that I have such a patriotic town to back me while I do a little to help beat the Beast of Berlin." SGT. EUGENE C. STIFF. July 23, 1918. _Company 9, 122d Infantry_ "I wish to thank you for the interest the Service Station is taking in me and I am sure all the boys from dear old Lanett feel the same as myself.... We had three battles with the 'Subs' on my last trip and I am proud to say we got three 'Subs' out of three battles." CHAS. H. YARBROUGH. _On Board U. S. S. Zeelandia_ "We drove the enemy out of places that looked impossible for it to be done, tunnels and under hills and mountains several hundred feet deep, but believe me we went in after them without any mercy and finally got them going so fast we had to put doughboys in motor trucks and hook the kitchens on behind to keep up with them." THOMAS M. SIMS. November 30, 1918. _Company E, 307th Engineers_ "Again I offer you a rising and unanimous vote of thanks for your kind letters. Number 10 reached me this week and did me more good than a check for $50.00 would.... You will have to admit that when the world wanted Germany licked they sent over the A. E. F. (After England Failed) and three days after I reached the front the second time, the Kaiser packed his trick clothes, threw his crown into the garbage pail, put on his rubber boots and let himself out the back door." CORP. W. D. PURCELL November 21, 1918 "You have no idea how we love to hear from home and to feel that you remember us. We can fight a _heap_ better when we're reminded once in a while that our loved ones are helping us by keeping us in touch with home and sacrificing in numerous ways that we may be more comfortable." GEORGE BANKSTON July 16, 1918. _The Rhode Island_ "It is just beginning to seem like 1919 to me and it will be a happy year I am sure because it means that I am coming back to the only country on earth with all my feet and hands still attached to me.
