Thus, both in ideals and in practical working, Warm Springs Foundation carries on the fight. Therefore, to you who are the warriors, and to you who support these warriors, I give both the thanks of the Foundation and of all those whom the common enemy has attacked -- the victims of infantile paralysis themselves -- those whom you have helped and encouraged to carry on.

My birthday has been chosen as the occasion for helping this noble work, which evokes from me my most profound gratitude to the people to whom I express my sincere appreciation.
