The first world war - end all wars, people believed - achieved 20 years of almost univer- sal peace. The second world war, achieved 30 years of comparative peace.

The average per- son requires food, shelter and some happiness in whatever he chooses.as relaxation. The maximum freedom is found in the maintenance of Law and Order =-- what you veterans fought for. And it is the responsibility of all of us to maintain these dearly = bought privileg- es - freedom in its widest meaning. Maybe only those who have lost it can truly appreci- ate freedom. And we, who enjoy it, should cherish it, defend it vigilantly, and be aware of the smallest breach of its protection and ever-mindful of the debt to those who fought for it.
