The Tattoed Man At Camp Dodge.
Camp Dodge - A fellow in the Eleventh Battalion was being examined for
service and was stripped to the waist. He had an emblem tatooed on his
chest, the emblem being an American flag, with the bust of Washington
and Wilson on either side of it. The physician then thumped him all
over, listened to his heart and lungs, and so on, and finally pointed
to the design on his chest and said, "You are pretty patriotic, all
right," "Yes," said the recruit "but that isn't anything. I am sitting
on the kaiser and Hindenburg." He was, at that!
