LEGION VISION

Our fighters in the front lines
and the fox-holes are fired by no
such futile fanaticisms as char.
acterlzes the Japs and the Nazis.
Our men have a job to do-they
are doing it because they want to
finish it off and get home.
Neither emperor worship nor
hero worship appears n their
dreams of glory; they dream, in
moments between pulverizing the
enemy. of the jobs they'll come
home to, the families they have
or will have. and most often of
the little shop or business they
will start for themselves and be
their "own boss"
Perhaps no one knows all this
better than the men of the Ameri.
can Legion, for they once were
soldiers themselves and now are
the dads of the lads in the ranks.
Thus the postwar program just
announced by a Legion commits
sion commands. as it should, the
attention of ALL who sincerely
have at heart the welfare not
alone of the returning seryicemen
but also of the country they went
forth to defend.
The Legion advocates employ.
ment fostered by a system of
free enterprise embodying t h e
greatest encouragement to individ.
ual initiative and every sort of
sound business leadership. along
with an effective implementation
of national program of fair and
impartial treatment for b o h
management and labor"
Of unuuestioned patriotism,
from a background both military
and parental, and with quarter
century of experience behind it,
the Legion speaks q nd makes
sense!

GEN. PATTON The HERO
