Pg 58
In March 1943 my daddy took this Oath to serve in the US
Army
“For God and country, we associate ourselves together for
the following purposes: to uphold and defend The Constitution of the United
States of America, to maintain law and order, to foster and perpetuate a 100%
Americanism, to preserve the memories and incidents of our Association in the
Great Wars, to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community,
state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses,
to make right the master of might, to promote peace and goodwill on earth, to
safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of Justice, Freedom and
Democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual
helpfulness.”

George McGovern quote. “The highest patriotism is not a
blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to
call her to a higher plain.” Patriotism comes from the heart. It is voluntary
and it is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge
and belief. May we continue to pray and uphold those who chose to serve and
give us our freedom.
