Christmas this year in America has
been made doubly significant by the
- • glorious sacrifice of the youth of our
Nation. Somehow we believe it fitting
and appropriate to remember them es-
pecially, in our Christmas Greetings.
Without their efforts Christmas this
year would be~empty indeed. Because______
of their sacrifice and their willingness to serve, an American
Christmas is agairj.possible.
