Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879. I PROTEST . . . There is an odd condition of mind to be found in cer tain groups in our beloved country today — a sort of ill ness of hushed tones and inferences that a patriot is the foremost enemy of world peace and good will, that a man who outwardly shows his love for his country must therefore hate other countries and because of this we should proceed with caution in teaching our children any of the great patriot stories from out of our past and the beautiful songs and poems which portrayed the un dying love and admiration for this land which our an cestors came to from across the ocean to change into a nation which is today the envy of the whole world. America’s soil is sacred to me. It was sacred to Pat rick Henry and to Francis Scott Key, to Nathan Hale and General Pershing. It is soil watered as Jefferson said, with the blood of patriots, and hallowed with the sacrifice of generation«; nf American dead Have we changed so much within the last twenty years, we Americans? Are we incapable any longer of loving above all other this, our own “sweet land of lib erty?” I do not believe that we are. As a loyal Ameri can proud of our heritage of the past, present and I hope future of my beloved country, I protest the following: I PROTEST the Communist party being permitted to have as much freedom as the Democratic party or the Republican party. I PROTEST the public appearance on tax-supported college and university campuses of Communist leaders. I PROTEST the various youth movements working for the surrender to our foreign enemies. I PROTEST the removal of American flags from the uniform lapels of policemen on guard detail and after the removal they (the policemen) were instructed to guard a group of marching degenerates who were carry ing North Viet Nam flags and placards and the writing thereon bordered on treason to our country. I PROTEST the actions of minority groups in their open defiance of the teaching of Americanism in our schools. I PROTEST the mollycoddling of juvenile murderers, rapists and narcotic peddlers. I PROTEST the sickness which numerous elements in our society seemingly are afflicted and which could lead to complete self-destruction. Why do I make these protests? I’ll tell you why. I had a friend. He died a thousand deaths for me. On”the greensward at Lexington a Redcoated British soldier cut him down. He was at the Alamo. A piece of shrap nel at the Argonne shortened his life; at Iwa Jima a sniper’s bullet as he raised the Stars and Stripes, and Stripes, and was frozen into bronze for us all to remem ber. And he is dying today in a place called Viet Nam. He was my friend because he died a thousand deaths for me. He was not really a fighting man, but he fought for me and for his country. He realized that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. I can just dimly see his face—he was difficult to recognize because he wore so many uniforms of the United States fighting man. He wore it proudly before that bullet, that shrapnel, blood ied it and ended for him the life — the kind of life — he fought to preserve. He was my friend. He was and still is, a part of that eternal vigilance which has kept us free. For that freedom we —you and I —owe him a debt which only our eternal vigilance and our complete de votion to the causes of Americanism can repay. He lies in a marked grave somewhere in this wide world. He was my friend and I don’t even know his name. Yes I do. too —he was called AMERICAN. Support the American Legion in all its activities. It is one of the few remaining organizations dedicated to the full support of AMERICANISM and our AMERI CAN HERITAGE. (Signed) HENRY L.
