A BEACON OF HOPE
Through the darkness which has
fallen upon our land, the American
Red Cross shines out like a beacon.
In every city, town and village
$~neriean homes have been touch-
ed with sorrow. Walk down any
s~reet and you will sense this by
the number of stars in windows.
Little blue stars on a field of
White. Some windows have one
~ar; some two, three or more.
]~ach star represents a beloved
are bearing for us the real burdens
of this war. Thousands of Red
Cross workers---men and women--
~re now serving our armed forces
at home and abroad. They are not
t~ained to fight and kill. Yet they
live the lives of our soldiers. Theirs
is a mission of mercy to help main-
lain morale in the armed forces.
A chance to talk it out with
someone when worried; a cigarette
li,ghted by a friendly hand when
one is lying wounded in an evacua-
tion hospital; a Red CroSs kitbag
when all of one's personal posses-
siGns have been lost on the battle-
field; a hot cup of coffee and
doughnuts in the cold gray morning
when one has returned from a
nerve-wracking bomb mission. Little
things? Yes, but how important
to the fighting men! The Red
Cross performs these services and
many more in overseas clubs, on
the battlefields, and in the mili-
tary and naval hospitals.
As the late John 'Finley expressed:
it in his poem, "The Red Cross
Spirit Speaks"--
The cross which on my arm I wear,
The flag which o'er my breast I bear.
Is but the sign
Of what you'd sacrifice for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war's red line.
TO those of us v~o watch and]
wait, the Red Cross indeed is aI
I
beacon of hope and relief. YourI
evidence of faith in this work is[
necessary for the morale of our I
fighting men. The best' evidence of
your faith is the little Red Cross
in your window marked "1944 War
Fund" as a companion piece to
the little blue star on the field
of white.
