rates. In the War of 1912 we
fought for the Individual rights
of an economic group, the mer-
chant seamen. In our later wars
we have battled to maintain free
dom for our own people and for
people all over the globe. From
the Pilgrims to the soldier in
Korea, Americans have suffered
to keep inviolate the rights enun-
ciated in the first ten amend
ments to our Constitution.
Americans have enjoyed free
dom so long that many take it for
granted. If we were rudelY awak-
ened in the middle of the night
and dragged away for questioning
without recourse TO legal protec-
ton. we would pinch ourselves to
make sure we we're not dreaming.
But my own great-grandparents
yer logged TO death in Lith-
uania. This was no dream to them.
Great numbers of our fellowmen
were denied every human right
rights which we enjoy as we do
the free air and the generous sky
overhead. The Bill of Rights. then.
means more than my own free
dom. It means. also. that I must
do all I can to help others under
stand and enjoy the freedom
which I now have.
To me, the Bill of Rights in
sures a chance to succeed in bust
ness through my own effort, to
own a house, land, and useful
material things without fear of
illegal government confiscatlon.
1t means rest at night undisturbed
by soldiers, reading the daily
papers without fear, free to weigh,
to reject, to make decisions that
are influenced by free Speech a
free press, and free action.
According TO the laws Of our
country. I will some day soon
have to serve in the armed forces.
AS long as l know that I am help
ING preserve the freedom and de-
mocracy inherent in the Bill of
RIGHTS. l shall serve America with
the best that is in me-that best
which America allowed me to de-
velop within her doctrine of per-
sonal liberty. (Israelite)

For III years my country has been growing. prosperins and
establishing itself in stature above the other nations of the world.
In III brief years we have outstipped nations that had a massive
grip on world commerce hundreds of years before America was dis
covered. How have we achieved this position in so brief a span of
time? I believe that our growth has been made possible because we
have been allowed the freedom TO grow a individuals under the
Bill of Rights. Nations. business enterprises. and schools grow in
proportion to the free growth of the individuals who make up each
political. social Of economic group. To me then. the Bill of Rights
means a guarantee of freedom to grow IS a student, a citizen. and
a workman.
