There's a day coming when the enemy will be licked,
beaten, whipped to a fare-thee-well-every last ves
tige of fight knocked out of him.
And there's a day coming when every mother's son
of us will want to stand up and yell, to cheer ourselves
hoarse over the greatest victory in history.
But let's not start the cheering yet.
In fact, let's not start it at all-over here. Let's leave
it to the fellows who are doing the job the only
fellows who will know when- it's done to begin the
celebrating.
Our leaders have told us over and over again that
" the smashing of the Axis will be a slow job, a danger
ous job, a bloody job.
And they've told us what our own common sense
confirms: that if we at home start throwing our hats
in the air and easing up before the job's completely
done, it will be slower, more dangerous, bloodier.
Right now, it's still up to us to buy Wr- onds
and to keep on buying War Bonds.
iefs do that. Let's keep bearing down till we get
the news of final victory from the only place such
news can come; the battle-line.
If we do that, well have the right to join the cheer
ing when the time comes.
