Hello Gang! Thanks for Everything! And it's great to come back to a job
A smiling soldier in a service cap, with a suitcase on his shoulder, points a thumb toward the viewer under the headline 'Hello Gang!'. The caption thanks co-workers and says it is great to come back to a job. The returning serviceman speaks to the viewer directly, a testimonial in plain, friendly terms; the sponsor is not named.
