Dear Em,
I am in Town today and on seeing this card I thought I would get a few and send you one. I am fine. Getting a lot to eat, for you know I am mess sergeant now. I hope you will be satisfied with this instead of a letter.
Sam
Poem printed on the front of postcard
WATCHFUL-WAITING
The Germans have their “Wacht am Rhein,” the English play “God Save the King,”
The Frenchmen sing their “Marseillaise,” while Russians chant their National Hymn.
Our Spirit shuns this war-like ring; peace breathes in what we proudly sing.
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh! long may it wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
By these colors we stand ever true,
Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue.
