# See Him Through: Help Us to Help the Boys (National Catholic War Council, Knights of Columbus)

A uniformed Knights of Columbus secretary with a K of C arm patch gestures toward a helmeted soldier walking away across a shell-lit field, over the line 'See him through' and the campaign week. The tell is the pairing of a service organization with the soldier's departure, so that giving to the campaign is framed as accompanying him.
