THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Christmas 1975
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN
VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES
No Americans have given more to the cause of
freedom than those who have served in our nation's
Armed Forces. Christmas gives Mrs. Ford and
me a welcome opportunity to thank each of you and
to express the nation's enduring respect for your
patriotism and valor.
We join in the hope that you and your loved ones
will have a happy holiday season and a most satis-
fying New Year.
