^JoESNT it make you feel good, to know part of a big job is finished? Makes
you want to slap some of that war dust off your hands, even if you know you
are going to have to wade right back into a fight again. But don't get the wrong
idea from tbe picture above. I didn't knock out those two infamous dictators
alone. It vas the full cooperation of all the Allies and their folks at home that
made it possible for us to win. A continuance of that cooperation will soon
bring victory over the third tyrant.
