3001100 PINTS OF BIDOD A MONTH!
Korea broke upon ua with the midden aurpriae of a
line aquall over Kansas.
Again, aa in virtually every generation since
American blood first bought freedom for this country
175 years ago, American blood waa crimsoning a
battlefield.
With one major difference, this time. Now, in
Korea, 97 out of every 100 wounded GI’s reaching
the most forward hospitals are being saved. That’s
two more per hundred than were saved in World
War II... six more per hundred than in World War I.
That major difference, of course, is the use of
plasma, derived from whole blood. Your blood.
* a *
The arithmetic of defense is simple . ; . dangerously
simple: Your Armed Forces require 300,000 pints of
blood a month. As of last August, it was coming in at
the rate of 30,000 pints a month.
a * *
Industry can produce the bombers, the munition*
... but only you can give tha blood. To date, there
is no known substitute, chemical or otherwise, for
the life-giving blessing of your blood.
If you have given already, tell rximeone who has
never given how little time and effort are required
. . . how painless is the giving and how proud the
knowledge that he has opened up his heart to heal a
wound, to save the life of an American fighting
to save his!
If you plan to give-then, in the name of a name-
less GI whose life depends on your blood —don’t
wait till it’s too late ... GIVE NOW!
CALL YOUR
RED CROSS TODAY!
What Happened to That Pint of Blood You Were to Give ?
