There is good reason for such rigid re quirements, so you should not worry about not passing. I feel that since you have been patriotic enough to volunteer, you should have something to show for it, so that no one will have the right to call you a "Slacker.' Therefore, with this letter is a button for your coat. Wear it. It is am honore to have the right to. If, as a result of wearing this button, and showing this letter, you influence some other man to come forward, you may. i'.a that way, help your country, possibly as muoh as if you had actually "done your bit' in the Navy.
