There Are No Atheists In The Foxholes

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. In Many Respects It Is Not To Be Found In Any Dogma Of Political Philosophy But In Those Immutable Precepts Which Underlie The Ten Commandments.

I Address You With Neither Rancor Nor Bitterness In The Fading Twilight Of Life, With But One Purpose In Mind: To Serve My Country. The Issues Are Global And So Interlocked That To Consider The Problems Of One Sector, Oblivious To Those Of Another, Is But To Court Disaster For The Whole. While Asia Is Commonly Referred To As The Gateway To Europe, It Is No Less True That Europe Is The Gateway To Asia, And The Broad Influence Of The One Cannot Fail To Have Its Impact Upon The Other.

The Issues Which Today Confront The Nation Are Clearly Defined And So Fundamental As To Directly Involve The Very Survival Of The Republic. Are We Going To Preserve The Religious Base To Our Origin, Our Growth And Our Progress, Or Yield To The Devious Assaults Of Atheistic Or Other Anti-religious Forces? Are We Going To Maintain Our Present Course Toward State Socialism With Communism Just Beyond Or Reverse The Present Trend And Regain Our Hold Upon Our Heritage Of Liberty And Freedom?

I Came Through And I Shall Return.

A Good Soldier, Whether He Leads A Platoon Or An Army, Is Expected To Look Backward As Well As Forward; But He Must Think Only Forward.
