The splendid American army now comes to assume its great part in the gigantic struggle. We have the samo aims, the same" resolution to pursue the Avar with the best of our strength until common victory frees the world from German domination. United and determined we will attain our end, and soon celebrate together the deliverance of the nations and reparation for violated rights."
