Firing Run

Susp, and the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrilly and adventure, William N. Robeson. The story you're about to hear may require accessory equipment in addition to your radio set, especially if you're a parent.

We suggest that you provide yourself with a glass of water to slake the dryness in your mouth and melt the lump in your throat, and also a handkerchief or some other suitably absorbent material to cope with your tears. It is a story of un-free meditated murder, the unwitting and unplanned killing of a little boy by his father. It is a story in which fate

overtakes love and tragedy lurks in the blue empirean. It is a story you will not soon forget. Listen, listen then as Miss Ruth Huzzy stars in firing run, which begins in exactly one minute. How can heroism be symbolized?

One example is in the shape of a bronze cross with an eagle on the center and a scroll below the eagle bearing the inscription, For Valor. The ribbon is a broad band of blue, bordered on both sides by narrow white stripes and edged with red.

This is the United States Army's distinguished service cross, awarded to those soldiers who distinguished themselves by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy. It is worn on the left side above the breast pocket and is one of the outstanding accolades our country can bestow.

Of the millions of men who have served in the armed forces of our country, only a comparative few have so conducted themselves as to earn this valued award. The distinguished service cross of the United States Army stands as a model for dedicated service and heroism of a high order. It is one symbol of heroism which only the brave and determined may attain.
