STATE
1823 moyer are.,
Elkhart, Ind.
Oct. 29, 1945
President Harry S. Trueman,
The White House,
Washington, D.C.
Dear President:
I wish to express my views
on compulsory military training
for the youths of america.
I served my country in World
War 1, and have a son who served
three years in World War 11. Ifeel
that we have done our part, the
same as every other good american
citizen has done, and is willing
to do in the future
as we are all anxious for per 2
manent world peace, and are
striving to discourage other
nations in prepairing for war,
we should certainly not exort
to the very thing that aggressive
nations have done in the past.
