The Project Gutenberg eBook of Uncle Sam’s Right Arm, by Effa E. Preston.

Enter Uncle Sam, a boy dressed in usual costume. He stands in center of stage while girls who sang group themselves at back of stage.

Enter 12 small boys in soldier suits. They advance to front of stage, Uncle Sam standing at one side. At conclusion of speeches soldiers step to back of stage. Each group take same positions before and after speaking and singing.

All Soldiers :	When each of us becomes a man He’ll be a soldier if he can.
1st.	I’d like to be a drummer boy. I’d beat a charge with vim and joy.
2nd.	I’d be a trumpeter. I’d never sound retreat But call the men from hill and glen the enemy to meet.
3rd.	I’d love to be a gunner and make the cannon roar. A lot of gunners, brave and strong, I’m sure would end this war.
4th.	I’ll be an aviator and like a bird I’ll fly Within my shining airship, away up in the sky.
5th.	I’ll drive a Red Cross ambulance and all the wounded men I’ll take away from battle fields, till they are well again.
6th.	Some one must feed the soldiers and I think I’d like to cook. I don’t know how to do it, but you learn it from a book.
7th.	I’d love to ride on horseback in every big parade, [6] But when it comes to battles I think I’d be afraid.
8th.	I’d like to be a general, like Joffre, so good and wise And find myself a hero in every nation’s eyes.
9th.	I’d like to be as famous as the mighty General Foche Who leads the allied armies to war against the Boche.
10th.	I’d like to lead our army like General Pershing, he Is just the biggest hero in all the world to me.
11th.	I guess I’ll be a private. We can’t all heroes be, But anyway, I know I’ll serve my country faithfully.
12th.	I’ll be the color bearer and hold our flag on high, And always, o’er the battle field, it will in victory fly.
All.	We’ll serve our country and our flag and serve them faithfully And all be valiant soldiers when men we grow to be.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate .

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org .

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
