Show t Let Freedom Ring The 4th of July marks die birth of our nation but also commemorates the birth of a concept-th- e concept that all' men are created equal, that a people have the right to be bee and to install a government of their own choosing, and that each individual has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The patriots of the Revolutionary War, those ragged soldiers with empty bellies who braved privation, haiddiip, and even death, proved that democracy is attainable. But it is not enough to attain liberty. It must be protected vigilantly, nourished lovingly, maintained unblemished and without compromise, if it is to be kept alive for posterity. This bade truth has been a cornerstone of American. policy from the very beginning of the Republic. It is bemuse of this fundamental belief that Americans have shouldered arms in defense of freedom and justice in two world wars and in Korea. It is for this reason that American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines are standing firm in Vietnam today to check Communist aggression. It is for this reason that Americans are joined with out NATO allies in a defensive pact to prevent freedom from being stifled by the encroachment of aggressive communism. It is for this reason that Americans, for as long as these United States endure, will always stand unflinching and resolute in the face of aggression, coercion, or threat. The inescapable truth is that, nearly 200 years later, freedom still dmsnih a willingness of individuals to make sacrifices for it. Men who value their freedom must be prepared to resist any threat to it, whatever form the threat takes, and whenever and wherever it occurs. Certainly life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are as overwhelmingly precious now as in 1776. vjj dogS r r CLUB & SPUR BIT TOOELE Sponsored by Mil Questions And Answers .
