Today is Armed Forces Day.
A couple of weeks ago, Patriot Post ran a tribute to Sgt Alvin York, the
World War I hero celebrated in the film Sergeant York, with Gary Cooper in the
title role. Here’s the conclusion of Mark
Alexander’s article:
In January 1941, before the attack
on Pearl Harbor, in a Memorial Day address
at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier, York said: “Liberty and freedom are so very
precious that you do not fight and win them once and stop. They are prizes
awarded only to those peoples who fight to win them and then keep fighting
eternally to hold them!”
He added, “I think any man who
talks against the interests of his own country ought to be arrested and put in
jail, not excepting senators and colonels.”
It is well he is not witness to the
disgraceful state of leftist “leadership” today, which disparages our nation
and the American Liberty he
and so many others have fought to defend.
