(applause) We must be ready to dare all for our country; for history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense & display stamina in purpose. We must be willing individually & as a nation to accept whatever sacrifices may be required of us; a people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses hope. The peace we seek then is nothing less than the practice & fulfillment of our whole faith, among ourselves & in our dealings w/ others. This signifies more than the selling of guns, easing the sorrow of war; more than an escape from death, it is a way of life; more than a haven of the weary, it is a hope of the brave. This is the hope that beckons us onward in a century of trial; this is the work that awaits us all; to be done w/ bravery, with charity, and w/ prayer to all-mighty God. My citizens I thank you.” Applause & handshaking. 14:28:30 MOS Parade from Capitol w/ marching units; Eisenhower in car waving, paper falling. People lining street.
