35 YEARS AGO
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
George Washington was a leader who recognized the
gifts and talents of others and assigned to each the task
for which he was fitted. His simple, unassuming man-
principles that have helped guide this nation through
true leader that he was.
On the birthday of our first President, it is well to
remember the fundamental principles he propounded—
principles that have halped guide this nation through
the years.
It was a cold day at Valley Forge as General Wash-
ington prayed for Divine guidance for our young nation
in its moment of severe trial. Later General Washington
met with a group of his military. With tears in his
eyes—not tears of fear or failure but rather tears of
pride for his fellow man and admiration for his strug-
gling nation—he gave his military patriots a simple
command, “Put none but Americans on guard tonight.”
What General Washington meant was simply this:
the salvation of our cause required true men, men willing
to stand firm in the face of great odds. Men who loved
their flag and liberty and freedom more than life. Men
willing to prove it.
His words are just as true now as in 1776._
