May I hand on to you a tradition that I've grown up with. It's a tradition that is colorfully linked with the holidays. For 60 years Christmas Seals have added a touch of special meaning to every Christmas. Those little seals that have kept me and my family company over the years come holiday time, have also given me the opportunity and the privilege to help in the fight against tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. We've done good work in those years. But so much still waits for us. And so may I add my voice for the many. Please answer your Christmas Seal letter when it arrives and get those seals to pretty up every letter or card and every gift could you send on. Each little seal is a message of hope. And what better message can you send during the Christmas holidays. So answer your Christmas Seal letter immediately and may your holiday be of health and happiness. And I want to personally thank you for letting me be here. And God bless you all
