ON THE FOURTH OF JULY —American Independence
Day —traditionally, there is much flag-waving, camaraderie, I
and patriotism displayed. But some Americans, I think, may I
have forgotten what lies behind all this. Behind the ritual is
the spirit of true patriotism—“love and devotion to country,”
as Webster puts it.
In these troubled times of great dissension among our people,
prophets of doom stalk the news media, the schools, and, yes,
even the nation’s capital. To be sure, there are grave dangers
ahead. '
But we have come through unstable times before. We will
probably go through others.
We urgently need to restore our faith in ourselves as a
nation. The best way is to reexamine the benefits derived from
being a citizen of a country such as ours.
* * «
OUR GREATEST ASSET is a guarantee of individual rights. I
This guarantee is the foundation of the freedom American I
citizens enjoy. But freedom comes only with responsibility. I
Waving a flag does no more a service to America than owning I
a Bible does for one’s faith. I
The greatest patriots America has are those who are atten- I
tive to her needs. A true patriot informs himself as much as I
he can. He thinks about what he sees. And then he makes his I
voice heard. I
This is the great beauty of our political system—a man I
doesn’t have to seize control of the government, or even run I
for office, to make his voice heard. We have, built into our I
system, the means by which all can make their wishes known. I
Those who love America most speak out to make their I
opinion heard. They want their leaders to hear criticisms as I
well as praise. They peacefully effect change in our national I
policies by using reason and rational action. In no other coun- I
try in history has this been possible for so many people, and to I
such an extent. I
As we reflect on American Independence, let us resolve to I
be more than residents of the United States. Let us determine I
to fulfill the responsibility of good citizenship. I
Without the advice of the people as well as their support, I
our government will founder faster than a cat at sea. If we I
lay claim to being American with our flags, let us honor that I
right through intelligent and responsible participation in the I
political processes. I
