 I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the 
army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment 
of all my boyish hopes and dreams.

barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that 
old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his 
duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
