Here you have the voice of
the leader of the American army in France. General
Pershing was known not to give great speeches and
this record is considered amazing in its length.
Text:
Three thousand miles from home
an American army is fighting for you. Everything you
hold worthwhile is at stake. Only the hardest blows
can win against the enemy we are fighting. Envoking
the spirits of our forefathers, the army asks your
unthinking support to the end, that the high ideals
for which America stands may endure upon the Earth.
