SOUTHERN OREGON MINER
Thursday, September 23, 1943
AYBE I’m your 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 to
make you understand.
This is it This is zero. This is INVASION!
I’m here, with a million other boys just like me. We’re
your INVASION forces. And we’re going to stay. It wasn’t
easy getting here, and it is going to be a lot harder before
we’re through.
M
WE’RE GIVING ALL WE’VE GOT
I said we were going to stay. I promise that, even if it
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 9ee, this isn’t going to be enough. Not unless
those planes we need snarl down out of the sky on the
enemy just over there. Unless those tanks get here. Unless
the supply ships get through. Unless there are enough
bullets for this rifle.
YOU’RE ON THE
INVASION FRONT 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 the
Drive — at least $100. Of 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 of
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 investing 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!
