For total Victory is not yet ours not by a long shot!. Yes, we've defeated Ger
manywe've shown Hitler and his gang that uncivilized aggression cannot
bring peace-loving nations to their knees, but our job isn't finished and won't
be finished until the iron-clad hand of the Allied nations has strangled Japan
until she gasps, takes her last breath and falls limp. No, our Victory in Germany
is not the stop signal. On the contrary, it's the green light the signal to fight
on to turn toward Tokio and let go with everything we've got. Our valiant
fighting men are doing just this! They haven't stopped. They haven't relaxed.
They're fighting on. Your country is still at war! Are you behind your sons, broth
ers, husbands and sweethearts in this round? The answer is yes, only if you are
working every minute of every day holding on to your Bonds and buying more
to produce the supplies and weapons our men need to achieve TOTAL VICTORY.
