Dear Sir:
I am sorry that the rigid physical require.
Lents make it impossible for you to serve your country in the
Navy in time of war. 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.
