In his proclamation of Loyalty Day 1965 President Johnson
states "Our nation's rise to its unequaled position of prosperity
and power was no accident of fate—nor was it achieved without
costly struggle. Rather the United States flourished because her
people were so dedicated to free government that they were will
ing to sacrifice their lives and fortunes- at home or abroad to
preserve our democratic institutions. The roll of our honored
dead attests to the courage of our people.
"'This loyalty of our people their unswerving devotion to
our nation and its constitution has rewarded us with a heri
tage of freedom never before achieved by any civilization. We
must cherish that heritage and fulfill our sacred trust to enrich
and preserve it for our children and our children's children."
As Americans' and servicemen Loyalty Day should serve as
a reminder of the task we all share the task of assuring this
freedom and equality for future generations. Only through con
tinued belief and support of our democratic system of govern
ment can the free peoples of the world hope to prevail over
Communism and its enslaving tactics. (AFPS)

"We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are
created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable Rights that among these are life Liberty
and the pursuit of happiness."
On July 18 1958 Congress designated May 1 of each year as
Loyalty Day and requested the President to issue a proclama
tion inviting the people of the United States to observe each
such day with appropriate ceremonies.
Of course most Americans need no special day or occas-
sion to demonstrate their allegiance to the ideals of democracy
outlined in the Constitution.
Members of he armed services- by the nature of their assign
ment display daily the loyalty and devotion to duty which have
helped build a strong country based on democratic and just
principles.
