ward glance over the military history
Of the United States. Ii is worth
while for the soldier to recall why and
how the men before us fought for
American principles and rights. You
are representing today the same ideals
and fighting for many of the same
things they fought for in l776, 1898,
1872, STAG, 1861, and 1898.
In l77G our forefathcrs refused any
longer 10 submit to the demands of a
tyrannical government and declared
themselves independent The farmers
and shopkeepers and mechanics and
fishermen who rushed To arms at the
beginning of the Revolution did not
al first realize they were forming a
new nation. But before long they saw
clearly that in order to enjoy liberty
| they must shake off the rule OF the
autocratic government which had it's
seat in London.
Our First War.
In their attitude they had the SYM
pathy of great many Englishmen
who We're broad enough to see that
the American colonsts were really
iighting for the rights of all free peo-
Piles. In the British Parliament PITS
and Burke and other great English
men openly defended the American
patroits IF | were an American as
! am an Eiglishman, said one of the
great parliamentary leaders, while
a foreign troop remained in my coun.
try ! would never lay down my arms
Ii was not the English people who
were seeking to suppress liberty in
American, but small body of court
politicians autocratic government
which misrepresented the people.
The Americans of that day on their
part did not hesitate to take up arms
for their rights. even though they
came into conflict with the seasoned
troops OF great power-even though
they had to meet invasion and partial
conquest OF their own country Nor
did they long hesitate to break com
pletely away from the motherland
which of them still loved.
In 1898 we found ourselves in
state of war with the French Govern
ment. This is not usually thought Of
as an American war, since there was
no fighting except for a few encoun-
tiers on the high seas There was no
declaration Of war and il was all set
tied within few months. Yet the
tact Is that state of war actually eX.
listed. Here again we had no quarrel
with the French people, whom we ad.
mired and loved for the help they had
given us during the evolution. We
were really at war with a little group
known as the Directory, who had
seized the Government of France and
misrepresented its people.
