Their will to win, backed up here
at home, is now their spirit of vic
tory.
Those men of ours can't stop now.
Surely neither can we.
We can't let them down noWl Ev-
erybody has to keep going-un-
hesitatingly, confidently, with full
faith until victory is conclusive.
General Eisenhower put it this
way:
1.-THE only thing needed for us to
win is for every man and woman,
all the way from the front line to
the remotest hamlet to do his
or her full duty"
One duty we have is to keep
up the worldwide force of Amer
lean generosity-a weapon for VIC
tory and a powerful influence for
the peace-a force needed now to
win the victory and prepare for the
peace to follow.
For our own men, nothing else
assures them quite SO well that the
folks back home are back of them
all the way.
For our Allies. nothing else tells
them in quite the same way that
the craftsmanship of the American
people is still the friendly and con-
structive influence that has built
for US everywhere those reservoirs
of goodwill which have symbolized
these United States as nation ev-
eryone can respect and trust.
The National War Fund offers
opportunity to the American peo-
pie to give-not lend--for our own
and for our Allies.
For our own, it means the USO,
a home away from home, for the
men and women of our armed forces
in their off-duty hours.
USO-Camp Shows which keeps
them laughing United Seamen's
Service which provides recreation
and serves the needs Of our seamen
in ports all over the globe.
War Prisoners Aid for thousands
who languish in prison camps and
whose lives are bonded by barbed
wire.
For our Allies it means care and
rehabilitation for child war victims.
Food for those whose lands were

Medical aid for the undernour-
ished and i'll. Shelter for many
victims Of ruin and pillage. Clothing
for those whose homes and belong
ings have been swept away by war.
Assistance and aid in starting life
anew for thousands who have rs
capped from the terrors of Axis oc-
cupation of their homelands
These and millions of other acts
of kindness demonstrate to our Al
lies your concern and SO strengthen
their will to win
Your generosity in response tc
the appeal of the National War
Fund has made it possible to prove
the Fund is an effective united eff
fort, serving the purposes of econ
omy and conservation of manpoWer
with elasticity enabling it to NEE
needs as they arise and fairly dis
