Behind each exciting headline these days you are measuring the contribution your daughter is making.You have the right to let the world know you are proud of her.Our Nation's leaders are proud too. President Roosevelt said 'The WAVES have proved they are capable of accepting the highest responsibility in service of their country. On behalf of a grateful nation I offer a hearty well done.' Admiral King added 'You who are members of the Women's Reserve have won the respect of the naval service by your acceptance of military requirements readiness for responsbility and already valuable contribution to the work of winning this war. You will share the gratitude of a nation when victory is ours.'Because by meeting the challenges of life in service your daughter is developing new maturity dependability and confidence.Because by keeping before her the standards of conduct learned at home and in her church she has contributed to the excellent reputation for which the WAVES are known across America.I am enclosing a display piece for you to place in your window. It is designed to let the rest of America know that a member of your family is serving her country in the WAVES. I know you will display it proudly." It is then signed boldly by the USNR Ensign "Barbara C.
