Military Man Defends
World-Wide Freedom
With a purpose dedicated to preserving freedom and
maintaining peace, the United States lias invested its
military might and know-how in a team of more than
two and one-half million individuals.
Since this nation’s beginning, uniformed members of
the armed forces have played a major role in retaining the
freedoms and heritage envisioned by writers of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
In peacetime as in war, millions'^
of United States military per-
sonnel abide by a Code of Conduct.
Daily they go about their chores,
as a team positioned around the
globe ready to react to orders
established by the Commander-in-
Chief, the President of the United
States.
- Times have changed in this
world of crisis.
No longer will a bow and arrow
forestall an aggressor. No longer
will a propeller-driven plane or
steamship match the jet-age air-
craft, missile-might, or nuclear-
powered naval fleet.
John Kennedy
One of the most widely repeated
statements made by the late Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy was in his
1961 inaugural address, “Ask not
what your country can do for
you—ask what you can do for
your country.” This challenge is
being answered by every Amer-
ican serviceman and woman
around the world performing as a
“Guardian of the Nation.”
Regardless of service, the uni-
form worn by members of the
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps or Coast Guard proudly re-
flects the image of “I am an
American.”
Theodore Roosevelt
The image is further portrayed
by Americans giving their lives
to preserve freedom for people in
Southeast Asia, and other areas
of uneasiness, plus those dedi-
cated to preserving the American
way of life at home and abroad.
In 1905, Theodore Roosevelt ex-
claimed, “We have duties to others
and duties to ourselves; and we
can shirk neither,” a message ful-
filled by every American in uni-
form as a “Protector of Liberty.”
Abraham Lincoln
But today, as in the past, man
can match man, even with the
advancements of a technological
age.
Today’s American in uniform is
an ambassador abroad and a “De-
fender of Freedom,” as described
by Abraham Lincoln in 1858, “Our
defense is in the spirit which
prized liberty as the heritage of
all men, in all lands everywhere."
Thomas Jefferson
The 20th Century American in
uniform is “An Enemy of Tyr-
anny,” fulfilling today what
Thomas Jefferson defined in 1800,
“I have sworn upon the altar of
God eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of
man.”
The message, “I Am An Amer-
ican” is echoed by every United
States soldier, sailor, marine and
airman wherever assigned as an
“Enemy of Tyranny;” “Defender
of Freedom;” “Protector of Lib-
erty” and “Guardian of the Na-
tion.”
This is the heritage of the
Armed Forces of the United
States!

Officers Place

In Poolroom
by Mike Greennian, PNSN
A joint operation requires
planning, co-operation, timing,
manpower, and often, a good deal
of crafty imagination. All these
elements were present when four
officers, under the twinkling eyes
of a senior IDF staff officer, made
their move one Friday night.
They represented the Navy, the
Marine Corps, and the Air Force.
The Army, according to a reliable
source, was out dancing.
Ignoring the problem of broad
daylight, even at midnight, they
drove the red Austin-Healey
Sprite, belonging to Maj. Richard
A. Fite, up to the front door of
BOQ 637 and into the hall. Then,
if one can believe their statement,
they lifted it up, turned it on its
side, and deposited it gently in
the middle of the ping-pong room.
Five men. Well, that’s the story
anyway, and they can prove it!

“Partir, c’est mourir un peu”
I learned this French expression a long time ago and I
have heard it many times. It is used at the parting of
loved ones who will be seperated for a period of time.
It is used by one leaving never to return. It usually de-
notes sadness, and it means “to leave is to die a little.”
It is time for me to use this expression as it is time to
leave Iceland for another duty station. Time passes very
quickly. It has been a busy year. We have enjoyed many
happy events. We have experienced disappointments and
joys; happiness and deep tragic sorrow. We hope and pray
that our efforts have been pleasing to Almighty God. A
chaplain rarely knows how well he ministered to his people
or what results will be effected by his efforts. His only
consolations are found in the realization that he has been
of some service to his people and in matters spiritual.
The purpose of our existence continues to be the salva-
tion of our immortal souls. Every day should find us in
closer union with God — by becoming more attentive to
His divine will and more assiduous in our religious duties
Wq cannot encourage you enough to be faithful to the
practice of your faith. Give God the rightful place He de-
serves in your lives.
To call who have been kind to me, a sincere thank you.
Be assured of a continued remembrance in all my Masses
and prayers. It is your friendship and sympathetic under-
standing during the past year that makes me say sincerely—
“Partir, c’est mourir un peu.”
