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.
