We can be proud of all that the Red Cross has meant to them.
This is our chance to serve those who serve us.
It is fruitless to try to place the blame for this situation on one particular Nation or on another.
As their Commander in Chief I call upon you, my fellow Americans, to oversubscribe the 1945 Red Cross War Fund.
