- Every man
- On Freedom's ramparts must a warder be,
- To warn of danger when the foe appears;
- To meet the onset when the foe assaults.
- Else--vain our hopes, and else the temple grand,
- Of all our rights, and birth-right liberties,
- Ere long will fall, and crumble in the dust,
- A ruin, more abject and dire than Rome
- Or Carthage was.
ANDREW DOWNING, "A Picture"

E. H. CHAPIN, Living Words
The unity of all who dwell in freedom is their only sure defense.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, Second Inaugural Address, Jan. 21, 1957

May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly--until at last the darkness is no more.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, Second Inaugural Address, Jan. 21, 1957
Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, attributed, The Rebirth of a Nation
Un-American activity cannot be prevented or routed out by employing un-American methods; to preserve freedom we must use the tools that freedom provides.
