The opening · free to read
Those men wounded beneath their battle flags May or may not have a fighting chance. Nurses are needed, yet recruiting lags While every mile of ground our troops advance Is bought with blood and even lives expended; Though death to some has always been the price Of victory when any right’s defended, Nothing excuses useless sacrifice! Whether or not the men in foreign lands Have little nursing care to ease their pain— Or die perhaps—the answer’s in your hands. Life means so much to them! Can you explain To any youth who fought, suffered, and bled, Why you did not serve, too, beside his bed?
—RUTH ARUNDEL PIERCY, R.N.
