    HELP CARRY
A BUDDY’S PACK

Mr. Ex-Service Man—Many of Your Buddies Are
Out of Work; Many of Their Families Destitute.
Clothes, Food and Shelter Are Being Furnished

Any Worthy Ex-Service Man May Receive Aid
The hungry must be fed; those who need it
must be clothed; the families of our unfortunate
buddies must be housed.’ Our buddies, who
through the tragedy of after-war are less fortu
nate than we are must be furnished aid. There
is no argument on this point.
The American Legion has taken on its
shoulders this great responsibility, and
rightly so.
We must “Help Carry a Buddy’s Pack” if the
pack is too heavy for him to carry alone. It’s
our duty tried and bound under the glare of the
bursting bombs and amidst the screaming
shrapnel. It is a brotherhood obligation
founded in dugouts and water-filled trenches;
a fidelity sealed by the last word of the dying.
The work of Douglas County Post No. 1 of
the American Legion during the years since the
war shows conclusively that the American Le
gion has accepted the responsibility.
We urge every Legionaire to pay up his dues
and every service man who does not belong, and
has that honored privilege, to use it.
