Page 6 Civilian Sacrifice Everybody Must Unite THE ECHO In the hearts and minds of every true American beats the desire to de fend this free land of ours. This nat ural heritage has come down to us from forefathers who, with the torch of freedom as their light, their homes as their ward, and the word of God as their guide, fought ever onward, overcoming seemingly unsurmount- able obstacles to plant the flag of freedom on the shores of two mighty oceans. No sacrifice was too great to make, no price too great to pay in this battle for free speech, free press, and freedom to worship as they saw fit. God in His infinite wisdom smiled down on these Christian Crusaders, and blessed them with riches hereto fore unknown, not ever before con ceived. But the battle cry of these free people has had to ring out six times since it first struck terror in the hearts of oppressors. Six times the youth of America have been call ed on to sacrifice lives, to join in the gallant march to victory. Six times the old and the lame have had to sacrifice comfort and necessity to make the voice of freedom heard throughout the entire world. Six times Americans have risen to meet the foe. Six times she has marched home to the Victor’s Song. Not for conquest, not for material gain but for freedom she has shouldered the arms of might and slashed out gallantly at oppres sion until that demon was forced back into its lair, there to nurse its wounds and plan new attacks on those people who believe in mercy and loving kind ness. Today history repeats itself. The good must battle the forces of evil with the weapons of evil. With the kiss of Iscariot still wet upon its lips the “yeUow belly” dragon dug its fangs into the back of our trusting nation. Striking with the suddeness of a tropical storm and with the stealth of a snake its jugernaught of power surprised and startled us. But it failed in its purpose, to strike terror in our hearts or to weaken us to the point where fear and uncertainty would be our downfall. By this treacherous act of the “so sorry” leaders of these misguided, unfortunate souls, our nation was in stantaneously welded into a mighty force functioning as a well disciplined athletic team. And this force will use its every ounce of strength to sever the tenacles of oppression, tenacles that would encompass every living man on earth that he might bow to the will of a diabolical maniac. As a monument of untimate victory our people have risen to lay a corner stone of right on a foundation of faith and build with blocks of truth and mercy. Good things often cost much. What is more precious than freedom? What price is too great to pay for it? To equip and maintain our mighty fight ing forces on the far flung battle fields and maintain sufficient home defense, those who are left behind must dig down deep into their store houses and give to our nation’s de fense. Those who still reap a harvest weekly must be willing to let our government have that portion which is necessary to overcome this force of evil. Don’t wait for them to demand the needed funds but every cent that is not needed for food, clothing, and other necesities of life invest in our government. Save tinfoil, scrap metal, paper, everything and anything that might be of use in subduing ihis atro cious foe. Be economical with food, tobacco, etc., that others might have them also. With bombast this arrogant tyrant has stuck a spear into our backs. With faith, perseverence and sacrifice we will subdue him with weapons we so ignorantly taught him to use and so foolishly supplied him with. Don’t sacrifice your birthright. America, arm!
