02/01/30 : CIA-RD pt. de. 15th,
Lt. General C. P. Cabell, Esqr., USAF
Central Intelligence Agency
My dear Sir:
May I have the honor of sending you under
separate cover in mailing tube a scroll with a flag
picture and a poem I composed some years ago.
Not being able to give a scroll to every soldier
in our armed forces, to which it is dedicated, I am
sending out as many, as my veteran's total disability
pension will permit, to as many General Officers, as I c
can get the address of, to show my personal apprecia-
tion of their distinguished services in the defense
of our country.
I served overseas in World War One with the 135th
Infantry of the 34th Division for 2 years.
It gives me and all loyal Americans a feeling
of confidence and security - and admiration, pride
and gratitude - to know, that soldiers with your
eminent knowledge, intelligence and zealous devotion
to duty are in charge in these perilous times and are
day and night on the alert, giving your all in the
efforts to guard our nation's safety, especially
as I am 72 years old and not able to shoulder a gun
myself any more.
With my best, warm wishes-for your health and
happiness, I remain, Dear Sir, with my kindest
respectful regards
Respectfully and cordially yours
And: May all the good that here on earth is found
And all the blessings heaven has to give
Together with God's love and grace surround
And follow you, as long as you shall live.
EKA

Music and words by Einar Kampmann-Arnild
America, God's blessed land,
The homeland of the free;
United in thy cause we stand
To live or die for thee.
With loyal hearts we will defend
Thy flag, thy soil, thy name,
The lights from 'hundred watchfires blend
With freedom's radiant flame.
No faithless foe shall us confound
Nor make us cringe or quail,
The anthem of the free shall sound
From mountain, hill and dale.
America, where freemen fought
For liberty and right,
Our land, with blood of heroes bought,
For thee we stand and fight.
Let foes of freedom boast and brag
Of conquest's bloody deed,
When challenged we shall hoist the flag,
That never saw defeat ;
The dove of peace shall fold its wings
And vanish like a dream,
As from the mountain-tops there rings
The eagle's battle-scream.

(NOTE) - According to Comrade Arnild, who served over-
