Message To The People Of America - Thomas Edison
This is Edison speaking
Our boys made good in France
The word American has a new meaning in Europe
Our soldiers have made it mean courage
Generosity self-restraint and modesty
We are proud of the North Americans
Who risked their lives for the liberty of the world
But we must not forget and we must
Not permit demagogues to be little
The part played by our gallant allies
Their casualty list tells the story
However proud we may be of our own achievements
Let us remember always
That the war could not have been won if the Belgians
The British
The French and the Italians
Had not fought like bull-dogs in
The face of overwhelming odds
The Great War will live dilately in
The minds of Americans for the next hundred years
I hope that when we do reverence to
The memory of our brave boys who fell in France
We shall not forget their brothers
In arms who wore the uniform of our allies
I believe that the national airs of France
Great Britain
Italy and Belgium should for all time
To come be as familiar to us as our own
Star Spangled Banner
