![["The document is a letter from George B. Schwabe, M. C. to Mr. L. A. Swain, thanking him for his support in opposing the Army's policy of sending 18-year-old boys into combat duty without adequate training. Schwabe mentions that he personally took up the matter with the President and that the Senate has passed a bill amending the Selective Service Act to limit placing 18-year-old boys in combat service until after they have had at least 6 months' training. Schwabe expresses appreciation for Swain's contribution and cooperation and credits him for the successful outcome. The document also references a previous letter from Swain to Representative Daniel J. Flood, expressing opposition to the Army policy and offering support and signed petitions to assist in making a stand against it."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_43_0000-Selective%20Service,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_43_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Efforts to Protect Young Soldiers: A Letter of Appreciation and Support")
