OUR GI’S. Congressman Dirk
*en of Illinois reported to the
House on his three months trip
to visit our armed forces in 21
countries. I thought you would
be interested in the things he had
to say about our soldiers and sail
ors all over the world. Here are
so mu of his remarks:
“I cannot say too much for the
Amtrican GI. What a tremend
ous lot of progress he has made.
The sons of the fathers who
fought in the last war are in uni
form today. Their poise, their
flexibility, their adaptability is
one of the most amazing things
that you can over observe in a
foreign land." The GI was fight
ing on cold ground up in Norman
dy, up in Holand, and in Belgium,
with nothing but K-rations for 2
or 3 days at a time. When the
thing is over, there you see him
walking along the Champ Elysees
in Paris as if there was no war
on, and all the burdens and care-;
of the spirit had been thrown off
“He is an adaptable creature
I have seen him adapt himself
down at Khorramshahr, in the
lower end of Iraq on the Perfcian
Gulf, where the temperature
right now will be 150 degrees, and
where every device must be
adopted in order to make life liv
able. It was exceedingly import
ant, because there we had built
docks where vessels were dis
charging their cargoes, only to bi
transferred on to a railroad that
was being run by American GI’s
and transporting 1’200 tons of
war cargo on every train, 15
trains a day to the north and 15
trains coming back, taking meat,
supplies, and equipment to our
Russian allies to the north that
they might carry on their offens
ives on the eastern front.
“That is the adaptability of the
GI; whether you see him on the
hot sands of the desert, whether
you see him in Europe or in Italy;
whether you see him in the cold
or the warm climate does not
make any difference. What an
amazing creature he is. and by
all odds tht greatest soldier on the
face of the earth.
“He has a great sense of humor
that is positively remarkable. He
has difficulties now and then
with exchange. He never quite
loses his wonderment and his in- .
terest. I saw him on, the campus
at Oxford when he had a little
leave, and oh, how he was drink
ing in knowledge. I saw him
look at the glories of St. Paul’s
Cathedral in Fleet Street. I saw
him wander around Westminister
Abbey, wide-eyed. Saw him
looking at the tombs of the an
cieht kings and men who had
contributed so much to the pro
gress of civilization. I saw him
in the moonlight wandering
around in the ancient Colosseum
I beard a sergeant say to a cor
poral—I was standing right be
hind them—‘Corporal, that is
tprobably what two or three
thousand years of weathering
has done to a structure built oif
granite and marble. But we
could have done better than that
with a B-29 in just about 15 min
utes.*
‘^Now, 1 am going to make an
adverse comment at this point.
We have some people overseas at
the present time who are over
there by special dispensation for
the;purpose of determining what
must be done to reorient the GI
when he comes back home. I
want to say with all +he finality
at my command that the GI does
not need any reorientation and
the long-haired men and the
•hunt-haired women who go over
seas for tht purpose of developing
a program to teach the OT not to
bayohet somebody on Main Street
in Abilene, Tex., when he comes
back is. in my judgment, the
-sheerest kind of nonsense.
“I have encountered the GI
everwhere. He is still thinking

actual dollars you put into them.

need it... in the meantime you get
safety and steady growth.

buildings and equipment after the
war.
5 Bonds will insure your children’s
schooling, or provide for your own
security, travel, retirement.
0 Bonds go into a national nest egg
that will help to assure post-war
prosperity.
