Wherever they went, they walked ... on guard at every step. Hardships
taught our forefathers the virtue of self-reliance and the need for co-
operation. Thus, in the humble cradle of privation, the spirit of our
Democracy was born.
Our enemies foolishly ignored the enduring influence of pur Nation's
heritage when they jeered that we were too soft to fight. Little did they
dream that, almost overnight, free men could perfect the finest and best-
equipped fighting forces the world has ever seen.
So, today when good citizens see an A card on a windshield, they recog-
nize it as u symbol of what people can accomplish who have learned
from experience to work together to attain a coli^non objective.
That same spirit will win this war and in peacetime that same unity
of effort will keep America strong and prosperous for our men and women
now on the fighting front.
In addition to supplying the mined forces with glider and btfmber fuse-
lage frames, wing parts, gun turret parts and foodstuffs, Anheiiser-liuHch
produces materials which go into thu manufacture of: Rubber*Alu-
minum • Munitions • Medicines • B'Complex Vitamins • Ho ipital %

iied cuttle feeds*Batteries• Paper• tioaji and textiles— tp name a few.
