Show Mav A Pledge to Posterity By 56 courageous men signed a declaration, a perilous undertaking for which they pledged to one another their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Of that number, 5 were captured by the British and executed for treason, 2 lost their sons in combat and 2 others had sons captured, 9 fought and died during the war, 1 2 had their homes ransacked and burned, several died penniless, propertyless, with their families dispersed. These were no men of means and ruffians; they were education. They had financial security, but they valued liberty more, and the heritage of individual freedom and opportunity that they left to later generations of Americans is undiminished in this uncertain, sometimes dangerous world. This heritage, however, a heritage of freedom in which man can strive to better himself and his society, is not free it never was. Nowhere is it written that freedom is a safe and comfortable estate, nor that the preservation of the climate in which human freedom and aspirations can thrive does not present risks, duties and hard choices. Americans have been as at Saratoga, Shiloh, the Argonne repeatedly tested and obliged to rededicate themselves Forest, and Iwo Jima to the American dream. Nor does freedom to pursue one's aspirations connote that each in society can do as he pleases. That freedom acquired by our fathers is, however, a solicitation to help build our Nation and society, in collaboration with others of good will; it is at once a gift, a promise, and a challenge. s Those 56 men who in effect signed their own on that July day two centuries ago declared publicly wild-eye- rabble-rousin- d, g n English Settlers this society, this bastion of freedom and opportunity, this magnificent experiment in government by the consent and loyalty of the governed, this proud heritage of human liberty and endeavor is to be sustained, much is required of Americans who love their country, so that this New World may in Edgar Lee Masters' phrase remain "Forever new to the hands that keep it new."

This magnificent civilization gradually became an integral part of the emerging United States. The descendents of these pioneers of Hispanic origin are now a vital and energetic part of our nation's human resources. Often this important part of our national heritage has been forgotten. Often the descendents of these early Americans have been forgotten. It is essential that the Hispanic-America- n tradition of our history and the contributions of their descendants be fully recognized and honored.

Those were, ' in Stephen Vincent Benet's phrase, "large assertions," revolutionary and dramatic for those days, but to their attainment America has been repeatedly summoned. Today, after nearly two centuries of growth, America again faces massive problems and again has need of people of energy and commitment, who love this land and wish to sustain it, who seek to protect the Republic from all harm, who stand willing to be counted when freedom needs defenders, who strive to insure that the worth and promise of America are available fairly to us all, who guard zealously the heritage of human freedom and opportunity to be transmitted to our children, and who will if join the corps of over a million Americans necessary who have given their lives so that the American dream might Colonel E.M.
