As their Commander in Chief I call upon you, my fellow Americans, to oversubscribe the 1945 Red Cross War Fund.
With God's help we will complete the fulfillment of the pledge we renewed when our men returned to Leyte.
That such a body would be best able to perform its nationally important tasks if created independently of the War Labor ...
We can be proud of all that the Red Cross has meant to them.
