tional Red Cross, in this fourth year of the war, is fulfilling its obligations to comfort our wounded, to cheer and help our servicemen on every fighting front, and to provide an essential link between these men and their families at home, thereby relieving anxiety and restoring hope to all those who are suffering and in need of aid; and

WHEREAS this organization is helping the people at home to stand firmly behind our fighting men through its collection of blood for our wounded, its shipment of food parcels, medical supplies, and comfort items to our prisoners of war in enemy hands, its production of surgical dressings, and its recruitment of nurses for our Army and Navy; and

WHEREAS the American National Red Cross is also carrying on its peacetime activities by assisting the civilian victims of tornado, flood, and other disaster, and by training the people of our Nation to combat sickness and accident and thus to prevent suffering and death; and

WHEREAS, by the very nature of its services and the principles for which it stands, the American National Red Cross is helping to build a world of unity and peace and brotherhood, recognizing no barriers of creed or race; and

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
