In a few days your soldier will recieve his honorable discharge and start for home. He is bringing back many fine qualities of body and mind which he has acquired or developed in the Military Service. The Army has done everything it could do to make him strong, fine, self-reliant, yet self-controlled. It returns him to you as better man. You have been an important member of that great Army of Encouragement and Enthusiasm which helped to make him and us all better soldiers. You can now be a great help in keeping alive the good qualities he is bringing back from the Army, in making him as good a citizen as he has been a good soldier. His fare and necessary expenses to his home will be paid by the Government. He will receive all pay due him. He may, if he wishes, wear his uniform for three months from the date of his discharge; The Government will allow him to keep up, for the benefit of his family, his insurance at the very low rate he is now paying. His return to civil life will bring new problems for you both to solve. The qualities he brings back will help you now as your encouragement helped him while he was in the Army, and in your hands and his, rests the future of our country. As his Commanding Officer, I am proud of him. He has done his duty we...I, and his comrades, will bid him good-bye with deep regret, and wish him every success after he returns home - that spot in every man's heart no other place can fill.
