Finally, I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express. Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country. I am, Mr. Secretary, very respectfully, JOHN J. PERSHING, _General, Commander in Chief, American Expeditionary Forces._ To the Secretary of War. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Our Army at the Front, by Heywood Broun
