M aybe I’m youz boy—or the boy next door. You know^ Mary’s sweetheart. Joan’s husband, Timmy’s daddy* Your son, Father! Your boy, Mother! • Anyway, I’ve got something to say to you. I’ve got ici make you understand. This is it This is zero. This is INVASION! I’m here, with a million other boys just like me. We*rt your INVASION forces. And we’re going to stay. It wosn'^ easy getting Kere, and it is going to be a lot harder beforii we’re through. WE’RE GIVING ALL WE’VE GOT I said we were going to stay. I promise that, even if i| means the thing—well, the thing we don’t like* to talk about. Because we’re giving all we’ve got: Our minds,' our strength, our blood. But you see, this isn’t going to be enough. Not unless those planes we need snarl down out of the sky on thei enemy just over there. Unless those tanks gee here. Unless the supply ships get through. Unless there are enough bullets for this rifle. « YOU’RE ON THE INVASION fItONT NOW! It’s that extra $100 War Bond, all of them together, mak« ing up the $15 billion worth they’re asking you to buy in September, that will prove that you are on the INVASION front with him. Your part is at least one extra $100 Bond during thf Drive—at least $100. Cf course, that’s in addition to your regular bond buying. A $100 Bond is the rock bottom fig ure. Some of you will have to invest thousands to put this Drive across. Take it out of your pay check—or out ol that nest egg you were saving for a rainy day. All you can spare is too little, all you’ve got is just going to be enough. Look at it this way: You won’t be giving anything. You will be in vesting in VICTORY—and your future. Things like safety for your family and money after the war to buy a new home, or to educate your children. You’re buying a stake in VICTORY—and that means America, yours and mine! I guess that’s all I've got time to tell you now. The enemy is waiting, just over the hill. Don’t keep us waiting for you!
