I wish to express my thanks
that we may all be here on this Thanksgiving Day and my appreciation to
all the men of this Battalion for the fine work that you are now doing.
ROYAL R. TAYLOR
Major, Infantry
Command, 2nd Bn.
Normally Thanksgiving Day
is a rare occasion by virtue of the fact that it comes only once in a
year. But this year it comes at a special and opportune time in
the aftermath of a miserable war, a vicious war that taught us that it
is only a previlege [sic] and not a right to be here today to give
thanks for he little things that count so much. God bless you and
yours.
