In each succeeding war there is a tendency to proclaim as something new the principles under which it is conducted.

But the principles of warfare as I learned them at West Point remain unchanged.

The point I wish to make is that those things cause the soldier to remember that the people at home are behind him. You do not know how much that is going to mean to us who are going abroad. You do not know how much that means to any soldier who is over there carrying the flag for his country. That is the point which should be uppermost in the minds of those who are working for the soldier.
