In pausing lo salute those who ser\ed so valiantly
in World War 1 and II, we cannot forget the role of women
in uniform. Because of their superb devotion and
efficiency during wartime, they have won a permanent place
in the Regular Services. Thanks to people like you,
women now have the recognition they so long deserved for
a job well done. Now, whenever you see a woman in a uniform, you
know that she is working hard in an important new ckreer
—that of lending her continuing support in keeping the peace.
And it is only through co-operative efforts of both women
and men that we can keep our nation secure. With a solemn
tribute to the past services of military men and women,
let us make Armistice Day 1918 a day of promise for the future;
ON ARMISTICE DAY RESOLVE THAT AMERICA SHALL STAY STRONG
