FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

There are the countless hosts who fought on the world’s battlefields. We know them well.
     The light streams from their faces. Their helmets gleam. Their swords flash fire. A fearless, dauntless, invincible army they march on and on and on to the fullness of Freedom. They live.

     They are with us children of America. They urge us on. They command us to go forward. 

     Man has slaved through the ages that we might be free. He has battled that we might have peace. He has studied that we might know. He has left us the heritage of the ages that we in our turn might carry it on. - Angelo Patri, The Spirit of America.
