Letter to the Editor: FIDELIS AD MORTEM*–

“I longed for the things at home that I cherished the most, I still shared the IDEALS OF AMERICA, and since those ideals were all that I possessed of my country, they became all the more important to me.”
“It was what freedom conferred on America that I loved the most—the distinction of being the last, best hope of humanity, the advocate for those who believed in the Rights of Man. Freedom is America’s honor, and all honor comes with obligations. We have the obligation to use our freedom wisely, to select well from all the choices freedom offers. We can accept or reject the obligation, but, if we are to preserve our freedom, we must choose well.” (Lt. Cmdr. U.S.N., John McCain Pow-Vietnam1967-1973)

*Faithful unto Death

Too bad that the current administration, with its socialist/liberal leanings, is leading our beloved country away from Cmdr. McCain’s “Rights of Man”.
