Four Corners to Washington and War Memories
In a hospital reception room the Miller family chats with Lieutenant Miller about Pollyanna and a hospital pal Sergeant Watson named Clarence. They discuss missing American planes in WWI, war reporting, and congressional testimony by Captain McKay and General Pershing about lack of American combat planes at the front. The piece blends war memory with family pride and cautious optimism.
