For Them We Fight . • •

For them we fight: those of the Revolutionary War, those of Wo·rld War I and those of the present worldwide eouflict who have been killed in aclion proudly fighting for and defending the righu and privileges of this great nation. We train not to avenge their deaths, but to fi.ght as they fought-to free this nation from aggressors and protect the freedom of thla 'D8tion, iu democracy and its opportun· iliea for life, ~rty ~ p!!n!lll 9f.~ppmet!!.

Through the years, the outaumding 1ncces&e11 achie"ed by American armed force• heve been traceable direclly lo the individ· ual initiative of' ita men. From Washington and hls frozen fo.rees at Valle)' Forge and the eingle-b.anded diaplay of bravery of Sergeant York of the finit World Wu to Genenl M.eArthnr a.nd hia staunch atand •gain•l a heavily outmmibering foe of the present war, on· selfi8h ambition and dis~ for pertc>nal well-being ha"e been <leciding factor& In Amerieaa victories.

In the prel!elll theater ol wer, especially in the Air Corps, even a peater opportunity for penowJ initiative presents itself-811 bee already been applauded by Alll.ed audiences in the ease of Capt. Colin Kelly who cra11hed. to his own e~tant death o.nly after euCCetllfully aecompluhing hie ohjettive and Jook.ing after the live!! of hie ehipmatea.

Let 1118, u aviation cadets of the Army Air CoqN, if the oppor• tunity e,·er presents iuell, pledge ourselvea to the challenge and seal the American tradition of thoee gone before -•o die d e­fending those righu in which we believe, rather th.an live in a land where those ideals are ahaeltled.
