Newman Lee Urban Post,
VF.W. ideals are like stars-we
can see them but we cannot touch
them. Destroy mans idealism and
you destroy his civilization. This
nation was conceived in the ideal
istic union of human rights; born
midst the violent lin of battle. Her
sire was Justice; her mother Lib
erty; her cradle Human Dignity.
She has given her sons and daugh-
ter's moral courage as yet un-
paralleled in the mammals of man.
kind. The V.F.W. is also founded
upon an ideal. The Cross of Malta
is the symbol the Knights of st.
John. 1t is a symbol of faith and
courage; of the eternal brother
hood of fighting men, serving a
just and noble cause. This is the
spirit of the V.FW.
