What Did You Do TODAY

To Help the War Effort

On the HOME FRONT?

Are you hving in

an overcrowded, uncomfortable lodging in our

war boom Indianapolis?

They sleep exhausted in the steaming jungles of the South Pacific or in the foxholes of Sicily after the battle.

Do you have to stand in crowded busses or streetcars to get to

work?

They crossed the oceans in a ship, jampacked with soldiers, who ate and slept in shifts, and always under the threat of torpedoes and

bombs.

Did you qo without your juicy steak or your second or third cup

of coffee?

They eat pre-cooked meals from cans (Ration K), nutritious and

energy-giving, but

cold and tasteless.

Did you stay on the job last week when you were not feeling quite

up to par?

They will be thankful if we only send them the medical supplies

they need to keep

them in fighting trim. :

Did you work overtime last week at time and a half?

They fight day and night, when they must, and there's no over. time pay for a hero.

Let them sleep and dream, wherever they may be, but let them

dream of an America

where everyone is doing. his or her best to

make, yes and even pay for the planes, ships, tanks and guns—the medicine, food and supplies, they need to fight and win this war. Let them know that we, the people on the home front, are back of them . . . expending our energies to the utmost—turning our dimes and dollars into War Stamps and War Bonds. Let them know that this is—and always will be, the America they love and fight for.
