FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON
Let’s All Back The Attack!
The Fourth War Loan is part and parcel of the
preparations for the all-out smash at Germany and
Japan. The slogan, “Let’s all Back the Attack,” con
veys the note of urgency to everyone of us to do our
utmost to make certain that we do not have another
Dunkerque or Dieppe on our hands. If you have
anyone near the battlefront—and who has not—you
will want to sacrifice to the point of hurt to buy ex
tra war bonds.
This is the kind of a war you as an individual can’t
brush off. You’re in it to the hilt. Not since the very
beginning of the Republic have the ringing words of
the Founding Fathers—“we pledge our lives and our
fortunes”—resounded so clearly and so truly. Be
cause if we lose, we lose all—not only as a nation but
as individuals.
In the big assult, in which men from this communi
ty—men from your very home and your neighbors’
homes—will be braving every terror a Hitler can
hurl against them—you have a job to do. You can’t
afford to take the chance that you will not be need
ed. Every man and woman and even our children
must deny themselves comforts and luxuries to put
the money into extra war bonds in order to achieve
in some measure the sacrifices which their sons, bro
thers, fathers, husbands and friends will make in the
next few months, perhaps weeks.
The fateful days are here. In the years to come
you will look back at the early months of 1944 and
recall what you did to help save yourself, your family
and your country.
Every home which displays the Treasury Depart
ment’s 4th War Loan, red, white and blue shield with
its proud message, “We've Bought Extra Bonds,” is
adding its weight to the attack.
In doing your duty in the forthcoming invasion to
crush our enemies, you are first being loyal to your
country. However, you must not lose sight of the
fact that “buying bonds” and keeping them is actual
ly saving money. Bonds are savings. They are real
social security, real old age insurance. They are the
safest and best investment for the average man,
against a rainy day.
Where else can you find an opportunity for small
investment today, such as in E Bonds, that guaran
tees a thirty-three and one-third per cent increase in
10 years?
Thus, from a standpoint of sound reasoning, every
person should put every dollar they have into War
Bonds, for the good of the country and for the good
of the individual citizen. Let’s all back the attack.

are fighting this war for us. They
are entitled to that consideration.
The American Legion submitted
such a master plan to Congress, Jan
uary 10. It was an omnibus bill with
in the scope of which the Legion em
braced all needed provisions for the
welfare of World War II veterans. It
was not any hastily-drafted legisla
tion. It was written by a committee
of nationally-known experts on re
habilitation, appointed by National
Commander Warren H. Atherton in
pursuance of a resolution adopted by
the 1943 national convention at Oma
ha. Into this measure was incorpor
ated the studied wisdom of the 25
years of experience which The Amer
ican Legion has accumulated in deal
ing with veterans' rehabilitation. It
represents the best thought in Amer
ica on this subject. The American Le
gion has lived with this problem since
1919.
This legislation might well be hailed
as a legislative “G. I. Bill of Rights.”
It would give the Veterans Adminis
