The Untruthful Soldier Trifles With The Lives

The Soldier, Above All Other Men, Is Required To Perform The Highest Act Of Religious Offering-sacrifice. In Battle And In The Face Of Danger And Death He Discloses Those Divine Attributes Which His Amke Gave When He Created In His Own Image. No Physical Courage And No Brute Instincts Can Take The Place Of The Divine Annunciation And Spiritual Gift Which Will Alone Sustain Him.

Like The Old Soldier Of The Ballad, I Now Close My Military Career And Just Fade Away, An Old Soldier Who Tried To Do His Duty As God Gave Him The Light To See That Duty. Goodbye.

In Short, Is American Life Of The Future To Be Characterized By Freedom Or By Servitude, Strength Or Weakness? The Answer Must Be Clear And Unequivocal If We Are To Avoid The Pitfalls Toward Which We Are Now Heading With Such Certainty.

On The Fields Of Friendly Strife Are Sown The Seeds That On Other Days, On Other Fields Will Bear The Fruits Of Victory.

Let Us Pray That Peace Be Now Restored To The World, And That God Will Preserve It Always.
