![["The document is written by a father who is serving in the army overseas, expressing his concern about the demobilization process. He argues that fathers with one or two children should also be considered for discharge, not just fathers with three children. He believes it is unfair for fathers to be kept away from their families while their personal affairs suffer. The father urges for support of a bill that would bring home fathers with one or two children, and emphasizes the importance of Congress representing the needs of the people."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_52_0000-Servicemen,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_52_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Call for Demobilization: A Father's Plea")
