The Life of a Private

I found this in a collection of my Dad’s letters home from San Bernardino AAF, circa 1943.
Thought it was worth sharing.


The Life of a Private
We stand in line to get a pass
We stand in line to wash.
We stand in line to find a place
To stand in line… by gosh.
We stand in line to draw our pay
We stand in line to spend it.
But fellowmen, we never have
To stand in line to lend it.
–Fort Hancock N.J. Foghorn
