"When you’ve got a flag like that in your win dow, mister, you kmw why you write out your check...when your own commimity’s war fund and the National War Fund make their joint appeal for your help. "I guess I’ve done my share dixring my life to help out folks who just weren’t as lucky as I was. Call it 'charity’ or anything else you want. I just call it having a heart under your vest.
