Treasury Salute is a wartime radio program associated with the U.S. Treasury Department. Its broadcasts supported the national effort by bringing listeners stories and messages connected with wartime service and the importance of backing the country’s financial campaign.

This recording is identified with the date October 2, 1944, and the title “Sergeant Joe Gomez.” The program’s dramatic presentation offers a glimpse of radio’s role in communicating wartime themes to a home-front audience.

The experience is rooted in its period: a direct, earnest broadcast style shaped by the urgency of World War II and the Treasury’s public-information mission.
