VOL. XXVII. JUNE 29, 1944 NO. 26. Verhovayans United in Hospital Train Campaign vis reported in the June 8 th, 1944, issue of the Journal, Mr. Bencze, Supreme President, Mr. Albert B. Ari, vice-president, and Mr. Aloysius Falussy, director and vice-chairman of the American Hungarian War Bond Committee, and others inspected the U. S. 'Army Hospital Trains in New York City on May 31st, 1944. The above picture was taken ofi that occasion. Mr. Bencze, Mr. Ari, and Mr. Falussy are seen standing in front of one of the cars bearing a big tablet indicating the donor of the Hospital Train to be purchased through War Bonds bought during the Fifth War Bond Drive, between June 12 and July 8, 1944. The response to our call for action is enormous arid unanimous. Letters arrive at the Home Office by the hundreds assuring the Supreme Officers of the full cooperation of each and every branch. There is no doubt in our minds that the goal will be oversubscribed. Immediately preceding the opening of the Fifth War Bond Drive, the great invasion started. Hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers are fighting on the soil of Normandy for the liberation of the oppressed people of Europe. They are fighting to wipe out Nazism, and they are shedding their blood for the liberation of the French, the Belgian, the Dutch, the Norewegian, the Czechoslovak, the Austrian, the Jugoslav, the Greek, the Polish, and the Hungarian people; they are giving their lives freely in order that Catholics, Protestants and Jews may be restored to the freedom of worship and to their inalienable rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The invasion is progressing BUY r. s. WAR BONDS according to plan, but the fight is hard. Many of our heroes will never return . . . and many thousands of them will return... wounded... broken . . . We, Verhovayans, have a great stake in this war, because 5,000 of our boys are in military service, and already 46 of them have made the Supreme Sacrifice . . . It is for this reason that the fifty thousand members of our organization rise as one man to support the invasion. There are many ways for the soldiers, on the Home Front to win the war, and there isn’t one among us who would not want to do his share. The majority of our members work in the mills and mines of the nation. Theirs are the hands that make the weapons for our soldiers, the airplanes, the guns and tanks and ships and ammunition needed for Victory. They stand in the first line of the Home Front and they will never stop working until Victory is won. But there is yet another way to support the invasion. By supporting the 5th War Bond Drive we do what our soldiers expect us to do. We not only invest our money with Uncle Sam for better days to come, but, at the same time, we make it possible for Uncle Sam to give the best and the most of everything to our soldiers. The War Bond purchases of the membership of the V. F. I. A. during the 5th War Bond Drive shall be credited towards the Verhovay Hospital Train as shown on the picture above. In the campaign for this Hospital Train our members are completely united.
