For- it was a country that beckoned the brave and laughed at the weak... a land that placed great premium
on couragi§-and skill... a wilderness waiting to be reclaimed only by strength and by steel. By the axe
and the plow and the steel rail; the locomotive, the tractor, the machine. _,_ ___
1 - And always with the American went the gun. For as JJie silent wilderness had concealed the threat of
savage and serpent, so the uncovering of its wealth bred new dangers and the need for defense against
them: the tryant in a hundred guises who sought to make the rewards of other men's labor his own. And so
the right to keep and bear arms became fundamental to the American. The* steel of his tools and of his
weapons alike have always reflected the bright metal of his own spirit. *
These are the symbols of the day we celebrate; of the peculiarly American holiday we call Thanksgiving.
These are the symbols of American freedpm. Of its attainment; of its rich reward and its price. These are
our hallmarks, the tokens of our creed and destiny, the things we stand for: Faith in God. Zeal and achieve-,
ment. The pot of gold at rainbow's end. Abiding love of country. p. i -v> •
