With these stirring words, the great patriot Thomas Paine helped to rally the soldiers of the Continental Army as they fought to win our nation's freedom from Great Britain. For more than two centuries, the spirit of our Revolutionary War heroes has lived on in the hearts of our dedicated service members, who know that, although its preservation requires courage and eternal vigilance, the cause of liberty is both worthy and just. Today, our nation and peoples around the globe rejoice in one of freedom's most historic victories the end of the Cold War. The ideals of democracy have triumphed over imperial Communism, and the world now stands poised for peace.
