Brown-Plumbi- st E; Sixth Army Show Here Tuesday Dear American Citizen: We of the Marine Corps Reserve, in every state of the A PIECE OF THE union, are offering the 'American people ACTION IN VIETNAM. Our fighting Marines are heavily committed in opposing the spread of Communism. An integral and vital part of this effort is the requirement to win the support of the people. By materially assisting the war ravaged peoples of South Vietnam, we can win their hearts and minds; thereby winning friends who will deny the Viet Cong support they require. To accomplish this, our fighting men need the SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE STATE OF UTAH has initiated a campaign entitled, UTAHS OPERATION FRIENDSHIP VIETNAM, in support of the Marine Corps Reserve Civic Action Fund for Vietnam. We feel that the patriotic people of Utah will reach down into their pockets and donate to this worthy cause to HELP SHORTEN THE WAR, which will enable our fighting men to return home. As donations are received, a volunteer committee working with employees of die Beehive State Bank, will tabulate, record, and forward all contributions to the Marine Corps Reserve Civic Action Fund for Vietnam, Washington, D.C. To eliminate operating costs we are receiving help from CARE, Inc., in purchasing and shipping to Vietnam. As supplies are received in Vietnam, Marine officers provide the needed supplies to military commander! in the villages for PERSONAL DELIVERY by Marines to the Vietnamese people. There is absolutely NO OPERATING COST involved in this project ALL CONTRIBUTIONS will be utilized to purchase medical supplies and food to relieve human suffering; provide tools and agricultural equipment to help the Vietnamese people help themselves. COVERNOR CALVIN L Rampton has enthusiastically endorsed support of this campaign, officially opened the drive on Friday, Feb. 18. Contributions will be forwarded to Utahs Operation Friendship Vietnam, Beehive State Bank, P.O. Box 11298, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84111.
