Your job lies ahead too, just as clearly defined as this Canadian
soldier's at the battlefront. Are you backing him ... to the limit?
You’re not giving up anything when you buy Victory Bonds. All you
are asked to do is lend, not give; invest not denote! Surely the buying
of extra Bonds is no hardship compared to the sacrifice of the lad
who is "moving up front" today.

These historic words, spoken by Mr. Churchill
in June; 1940, when Britons were frantically
preparing to meet an invasion, can be para*
phrased to provide even more inspiration to*
day when our own invasion forces are poised
for the attack on the continent.
Yes, we shall fight on their beaches, on theifj
landing grounds, in their fields; we must fight^
too in our factories, offices and homes, and on]
our farms. The Sixth Victory Loan is another
great offensive launched against the enemy]
Each and every one of us must strike a blow
for freedom by buying Victory Bonds;
