What does all this mean to you? And that is
but fraction of the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless
heroic work of the American Red Cross we could
never win this war.
Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep
Italy in the fight for Liberty would not have been
possible.
Without your Red Cross thousands of French
soldiers CALAMITY fighting for you at the front
would have died of wounds exposure and lack of food
And great and wonderful as has been the work
of the American Red Cross in the past still greater
and more wonderful must it be in the future-for
now your boy is in the fight.
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England,
give them all constantly increasing help, for the men
of these countries have been fighting our battles.
But now we must all redoube our efforts and
sacrifices for our Red Cross because million mothers
sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the
greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting
for honor and liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross your boy will
win.
