RELAX-ENJOY READ The GUIDE
While You were Fightinm
“OVER THERE’’.
Some of the well-meaning folks back home
decided to take away beer. That this
shouldn’t have happtned was proved later
by the repeal of unpopular prohibition.
Ibut in today's war.
the Army, the Navy, and all of the armed
forces, as well as the Red Cross recognize
the value of beer as a moral builder. They
recognize the fighting men’s right to enjoy
a refreshing glass of beer. Yes, in today’s
war, things are different! The boys “over
there,” and those stationed here in America
are enjoying beer as a beverage and as a
food.
The government requires that breweries set
aside a large portion of their production for
the boys in the service. There are times
when you can’t get your favorite beer. This
may inconvenience you, but when you real
ize that beer has gone to war, that’s a dif
ferent story! You wouldn’t have it any
other way!
When you return to your home, and you
hear your friends complain—tell them why
they may have to pass up that second glass
of beer. They wouldn’t have it any other
way, either.
