AS WI MARCH TOGETHER against a common foe, we
Canadians recall with a sense of deep gratitude the
warm generosity of you Americans, as so often demon
ssrated personally to us.
Your war aid during our last two summers of fighting
has buttressed our efforts and strengthened our morale.
Now that we stand shoulder to shoulder against the
forces of darkness and barbarism, we feel more than
ever our kinshiP with you, our neighbours, across the
~friendliest border in the world"
Whether you visit us soon, or not until Victory is
won, we know you will remember the pine forests, blue
waters and snowy peaks where you have spent so many
happy days in times of peace. And we hope you will
think often of the friendly folk of Canada, who send an
open-hearted greeting to all their American neighbours.
