r What does all this mean to you?. And that is
but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless,
heroic work of the American Red Cross we could
never win this war. .t
Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep
Italy , in the fight for Liberty would not have been
possible, '
Without your Red Cross' 'thousands' of French v
soldiers now gallantly fighting for you at the front
would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food
And great, and wonderful as has been the, work
of the American Red Cross in the past, still greater
and more wonderful must it be in the futurefor
now your boy is in the fight. .
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England,
Italy, Serbia, Roumania and, little Belgium. It must
give them all constantly increasing help, for the men
of these countries have been fighting our battles.
..But now we must all redouble pur efforts and
sacrifices for our Red Cross because a million mothers'
. sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the
greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting
for honor and liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross your boy will
win. ,
