Inside of the Christmas menu at Training Station, San Diego CA.
December 1943.
The following is the message as shown above and following it is the menu
for that day.
Greetings from the
Commanding Officer
It is a source of pride to me as it
should be to you to envision our part
in the achievements of those who have
passed through this Training Station to
glory in the field and the opportunity
you have to follow in their wake. That
their effort has not been in vain is at-
tested by the goals already reached;
that certain victory will follow depends
upon the spirit and manner in which you
carry on.
I wish for you and your families at
home who are thinking of you at this
season a very Merry Christmas and a
glorious 1944.
