I DIED TODAY
WHAT DID YOU DO?
Whed you go home to
your family, think of the
men who will never go
home. . . . Who gave their
lives that you might live.
And think of the men who
gave their arms, legs, and
eyes in the fight for free
dom. ■ - . -V . . ....
As you sit at home,
knowing that in more than
two years of war not a sin
gle enemy plane has threats
ened your life .... think
of the men who have made
that security possible. And
then, if y-o-u don’t deter
mine to do your share in
the sth War Loan Drive,
then maybe no appeal can
reach your heart.
