The following poem was writ
ten by Bonnie Jeanne Adair, 13
years old and is called “A Child’s
Version of War”:
I can’t understand ’bout war ’n
all that stuff, *
But I know the Japs ’n Germans
are treatin’ us awful rough,
Now we were pretty good to
them the way it ’pears to me
We never bothered them at all;
we just let ’em be,
’Course when Hitler bombed
Great Britian we began to help
a bit,
Guess it made him sorta mad,
’cause he sure did have a fit.
An’ the Japs were fightin’ Chinai
the reason I dont know,
Though I’m sure it was bad one;
Pop says Japs are low,
But I ain’t a bit afraid, we’re
gonna beat ’em all,
; Mom says God is on our side,
our nation will never fall!
And our president’s smarter’n
Hitler, he always does what’s
right
But golly! The Japs were bomb
ing us, we just had to fight.
If brother has to go to war (Mom
says she's sure he’ll go)
You can bet your life that all of
us will be proud of Brother
Joe.
Brother Joe is proud of Bonnie
Jeanne, too, and the poem she
wrote and sent him, which would
make anyone proud. Incident
ally, “Brother Joe” is Joe Adair,
well-known member of the Sig
nal Corps, stationed here.
