? ? ? He's an American hero. After fighting bloody battles in the
Pacific, he was home on leave two years ago.
? ? ? You may remember seeing his picture. His name is John
Basilone, Marine Gunnery Sergeant. He traveled all over Amer
ica, urging every American to buy more bonds.
? ? ? He said: "You don't know ? you can't know ? how much
it means to the boys out there when they hear the folks back
home have just put another War Bond Drive over the top."
? ? ? They gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor and
offered him a commission. He didn't want it. "I'm a plain soldier,"
he said. "I want to stay one."
? ? ? Well, he stayed a plain Marine ? like Joe and Bill and the
fellows down the street. He can't ask you to buy bigger bonds
during the Seventh. He was killed a few weeks ago on Iwo, just
after he had led his assault team to the edge of an airfield we
needed desperately.
? ? ? We can't let him and all our other fighting heroes down.
Remember, last year we had two War Loan Drives by this time.
The Seventh is our personal call to arms ? two drives in one.
That's why our quota is large.
? ? ? We must meet it ? we will meet it ? for the hero of Iwo ? ?
for Victory ? for pride in America.
