Army Times founder Mel Ryder, began his newspaper career on the staff of Stars and Stripes selling and delivering papers to the troops on the front lines during World War I. In 1921 he joined Willard Kiplinger in forming the newsletter service, the Kiplinger Agency. He sold his interest in the agency in 1933 and began publishing Happy Days, a paper written for members of the Civilian Conservation Corps. His first order was for 400 copies and the first advertiser was GEICO. Next, Ryder started the publication of Army Times. The first issue was published in 1940 and the company was incorporated the same year.
Sitting home alone, thinkin' about my past
Wonderin' how I made it and how long it's gonna last
Success has come to lots of them, failure's always there
Time, time waits for no one and I wish
How I wish someone would care, yeah
Some folks think you're happy, when you wear your smile
But what about your tribulations and all, all of your trials?
Smiles, smiles hide a lots a things
The good, the bad, the hurt, all of this goes too
And I wish, I wish, how I wish someone would care
I wish someone would care, don't you think someone should care?
Ah don't you need someone to care?
