The stakes are large but the grandeur of our operations in Europe reveal how determined we are to restore civilization to its highly attained nor mal basis. The prayers of all our allied nations, from country church to great cathedral, led by the martial hymn, “Onward Christian Soldier.” show how sin cere is our purpose to bring the world back to the paths of the Prince of Peace. America is a peace loving nation, and our history has shown how well we have developed the practices and arts of peace. We have never sought war, but we have always fought attacks on our ways of life. We have developed the resources of happiness and general welfare of our citizenship like no other na tion in all history. At times, in the contentment of our pursuits, we have slept on their importance and the necessity of vigilance in their protection. We may have believed too much that the world would take example of a God fearing democracy, and change its ways, but we have never lost the militancy in our souls, inspired by our forefathers and the pio neers in our multiple developments. At no time has a free American citizen feared to fight for what was right. At no time have our people, as individuals or as massed armies, been unwilling to defend our pur poses and our institutions to the limit of our abilities, and we have always been successful. We martial our resources willingly and we send our sons forth with the injunction of the ancient Grecian mother, “to return with their shields or upon them”. This war is global and through it we will become global in our power and influence. It may seem a terrible price to pay, but through the logic of history this is our destiny. We are now the most powerful nation on earth and we cannot shirk the responsibili ty of this power. Our strength lies in our great pur poses toward the welfare of humanity by the destruc tion of tyranny and the advancement of individual opportunity. We are not aggressors against other nations, nor are we aggressors against any good citi zen. We are free and our ideas of freedom, we hope, will be established throughout the entire world. That is why we invade. We are seeking the liber ation of conquered countries, and the destruction of ideologies that subjugate peoples; and the re-estab- lishment of our own freedom against all danger from without.
