Extracts of Appreciation

“I appreciate all the letters which you have written to me and it certainly livens a fellow up and makes him feel good to receive all the news from home and know just what is being done.”

“I am proud to be represented in the service flag.”

“Am glad to hear from you and to know that you are doing such wonderful work for the boys.”

“Thanking you all for the joy that comes with your ever welcome letters.”

“I want you to tell your fellow members in the War Service Station that as a man in the service I can heartily appreciate the work you are doing for the benefit of the men in the service and I think it is a splendid thing.”

“Please accept my sincere thanks for all the letters, magazines and other things you have sent.”

“Thanking you for remembering me and wishing you much success with your work.”

“Am sure this system will prove a success as the boys will all appreciate the work of the Service Station.”

“I am grateful to you and proud of our War Service Station.”

“I am sure the good work that the Langdale War Service Station is doing for the boys in the service is very much appreciated. No one has an idea what it means until they are in the Service and are remembered as we are by the Service Station.”

“Can assure you that your letters and all good work is more than appreciated.”

“My best wishes for a prosperous Station, but then how could it be otherwise when it is for the good of Democracy and especially for the Liberty of these dear old ‘United States’.”

“I am not going to try to thank you for all the good news and letters I received when I reached port, this time. It was just grand.”

“If you could visit this place once, my dear friends, you would know what a good place the U. S. A. is. Everything is out of date, even the women are all curious looking.”

“It may be six or eight months before I get back to dear old Langdale. Of course it seems very hard to stay, but if my country needs me I am willing.”
