Hi Scott, The Third War Bond Loan Drive ran from September 8 thru
October 2 in 1943. Nationwide almost $2 billion dollars was raised for the war
effort.. That is over $34 billionin today money. Sinatra was
receiving a lot of heat for not being a member of the armed services. George
Evans had an answer( he almost always did). Frank became a great sellerof war
bonds throughout the rest of war. And it made him invaluable to the war deptand
a much sought after entertainer for bond rallies.Ed
