and Marianas. A penny going into a bank that says "Save for Victory Bank." A flag says "Remember Pearl Harbor" and "Bond," followed

that says "In Their Memory."
Then the soldier's poem:
Let me fight well today oh Lord,
Let me do nothing to bring shame or disgrace
On my family, my comrades, my unit or my country.
Let me conduct myself in such a manner that there is no dishonor.
Let me not be wasted, but if I die,
Let me die like a soldier should.
At the bottom are the words AWON twice with the Purple Heart overlaid.
