Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 5: August 1928 At noon of the first day they were through the defense system, and were going through comparatively untouched country, with only here and there a pill-box or a strip of wire to impede their progress. At one o'clock they received orders to hold up their triumphant progress for awhile until the division on their left could catch up. Their flank was beginning to wave in air, un protected, for a dangerously long distance. This not only exposed them to attacks from that direction, but the artillery of the slower division would be firing into them. The division halted impatiently, reformed, evacuated its wounded, replenished ammunition supply, and ate its emergency rations.

Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 5: November, 1928 I had seen photographs and etch ings of skyscrapers before I came to America. I had always had Ameri can friends, and they were willing to describe their country. But I was determined to enter the country by New York in order to see the wonderful harbor and sea-front of which I had heard so much. The last I saw of Eng land were the white cliffs of the Isle of Wight on a September day, when yachts revolved about the ship like great white moths. Then no more land until the entry into New York Harbor at about six o'clock in the evening. I missed the Statue of Liberty on that occasion, although I have seen it since. I was busy below, doing the last bits of frantic packing. New York, when at last I came on deck, loomed before me through a deep blue haze like an enchanted city. The dim forms of the skyscrapers shot grace fully up into the sky, starred all the way up by their innumerable lighted windows. The sight gave me that odd sensation that all moving experiences give, of sudden rediscovered familiarity. I felt that I had known it all my life, but that it had been hidden deep in my subconscious mind. I felt then that America was going to come up to my highest expectations. In my childhood, I had not at first realized that my American friends belonged to another country and another flag. They spoke the same language, and I supposed, with a child's simplicity, that they sprang from the same background as myself and inherited the same traditions. Only when these friends, small boys and girls, disappeared for long periods did I learn that they had gone back to their own country, a great and strange and magnificent place called America, such a long way off that they could only go there for a long time or not at all.
