We have been a race of pamper ed children. We have nourished ourselves from a land of bounty. Hardship has been an oddity de privation an absurdity.

We are forced to lift the shroud of idle ness from our too long inactive minds. As we discard emotional untruths, trample over a veneer quality of se curity, and seriously visualize our once-thought impregnancy with that of our foes, our eyes are open ed. Our pipedreams are extinguish ed and the flame is transferred to the furnace of production. A race long dead awakens; lax minds are stimulated to a patriotic fervor AMERICA GOES TO WORK!!
