What Did You Do Today
For Freedom ?
How often during the past months
have we seen those words as we
leafed through a magazine. And un
derneath those blazing words lies a
dead American soldier. It isn’t a
pleasant page to look on so we don’t
tarry long. We try to shut out the
picture and close our ears to the ring
ing words “What Did You Do Today
For Freedom?”
Stop and think: Did you absolutely
have to take the car to the movies last
night? Yes, it was cold, wasn't it?
I’ll bet it was several degrees colder
in Iceland, where your neighbor’s son
was on sentry duty. Were you a bit
mad at Uncle Sam because you had to
stand hours in line at the ration board
only to receive a book of stamps which
cut down on your canned goods? It
was inconvenient, wasn’t it, and you
won't get your favorite fancy packed
can of pineapple, will you? I wonder
what the young fellow who used to
work at the corner drugstore thought
about when he and his buddies went
down on Bataan and Corregidor be
cause they had no food. I don’t think
he denounced the U. S. government
even then.
Ration books, no nylon hose, no
new furniture or cars, walking to
work, no gum or candy, no trips, no
fun hard, isn’t it? Eddie Ricken-
baker thanked God for a mere bird
once, a soldier in Buna prized a fox
hole like a new Cadillac, a tough mar
ine in Africa wanted only a letter
from home.
What did you do today for freedom?
Did you buy a bond, donate your
spare time to the U.S.O. to help the
morale of the boy away from home,
save your fats and grease, write a
cheerful, newsy letter to someone in
the service, start that course in First
Aid or Home Nursing, stop that un-
founded rumor you heard, keep your
sense of humor and your American
way of living?
What did you do today for freedom?
