in ziveza. Tega nj imela nasa
slovenska vojska v domovini.
Mesto zeleza in kruha je mora
la biti pri njih podvojena in
veckrat pomnozena osebna hra-
brost posameznika.
Toda danes lahko recemo, da
so vzlic vseh teh strasanskih
potezkoc in zaprek zmagali. Da,
zmagali so, ker Sc je ma njih
strani borila stara in zgodovin-
ska pravica.
Da zmagali SO, ker je bilo njih
upanje in je bila njih vera v le-
po in srecno slovensko bodoc-
most tako krepka, nezlomjiva
in prepricevalna, da so zastavi-
Ii tenn nepopisljivem in groz-
mem boju vse svoje imetje in
dragoceno zivljenje.
To so storili nasi bratje in Sc
sire "a svobodo in sreco tiste-
ga naroda, katerega sinovi in
hcere smo mi ameriski Sloven-
ci.
Kaj smo storili mi? Ali smo
Sc mi njih krvni sorodniki, pri-
jatelji in znanci? Ali Sc Sc nj

vina slovenskih roditeljev izpod
Triglava, med Dravo, Savo in
Soco, doll do Gorjancev in 81
NIGGA Jadrana? Njih zmago-
slavna in zgodovinska della mas
morajo vzdigniti IL morece

tiste visine, kjer bono eutili

izkrvavljenega slovenskega na-
roda onkraj morja.
.Da, Slovenci in Slovenke "
Clevelandu, vsi Sc zdramimo,
vsi delajmo, zbirajmo in nabi-
rajmo vse, kar je nujno potreb-
no "a omega, XII koraka praz-
mimi rokam; in tezko glavo ma

di.
Sedaj je cas-; pot je odprta,
saj ladja Sc bliza nasi zemlji, da
odpelje izmucenemu narodu mas
prvi in velikodusni dar, katere-
ga poklanja tudi ameriska Slo-
venija.
