From every section of the county from Bear River City to the north and west boundaries, the youth of the valley, some six hundred, have responded to the call of the armed services. These young men and women represent Bear River Valley throughout the world, in the army, navy, air corps, marines, merchant marines, Waves, Wacs and other divisions of the armed forces. They are in Alaska, England, Italy, North Africa, Australia, China, the Pacific Islands. Perhaps in other places we do not know of. But they are out there, representing our nation, state, county, city and towns. By far, they are Bear River Valley's greatest contribution to the war effort, and we are proud of them.
