In War, As It Is

Competitive Sports Keep Alive In Us A Spirit And Vitality. Sports Teach The Strong To Know When They Are Weak And The Brave To Face Themselves When They Are Afraid; To Be Proud And Unbowed In Defeat, And Yet Humble And Gentle In Victory; To Master Ourselves Before We Attempt To Master Others; To Learn To Laugh, Yet Never Forget How To Weep; And To Give The Predominance Of Courage Over Timidity.

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?

Duty, Honor, Country. Those Three Hallowed Words Reverently Dictate What You Ought To Be, What You Can Be, What You Will Be.

I Had Learned One Of The Bitter Lessons Of Life: Never Try To Regain The Past, The Fire Will Have Become Ashes.

If We Will Not Devise Some Greater And More Equitable System, Armageddon Will Be At Our Door.
