“America has many glories. The last one that she would wish to surrender is the glory of the men who have served her in war. While such devotion lives, the nation is secure. Whatever dangers may threaten from within or without, she can view them calmly. Turning to her veterans, she can say: 'These are our defenders. They are invincible. In them is our safety.'” MenMayWarLastsAmericaNationsWishViewsDangerHe ManGlorySafetySurrenderDevotionSecureVeteranInvincibleDefenders Author:Calvin Coolidge
