“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin-just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain.” IfsKnowsWorldShouldBelieveChildrenFacesLife IsDiesChristEnemyFireHeardDyingSweetFoolGunShotsCrossesSlaveryRoundsDearIsraelChainsVainBridgesThrownPatriotNaziHonoredMartyrMosesPharaohs Author:Ronald Reagan
