phases of training and for
these men it is very hard.
But not one of them balks
at the hardest tal task and
as I watch them strugle along
it makes a lump come in my
throught throat to see men push
themselves the way they do.
The other morning durning physical
training one of these fellows had
"charley horses" in both legs (and had
hade them for two days) and could
not bend either ne of his knees
but went right on and did his best
without saying a word or making
any excuse.
