In Memory
of all the brave who died that we might
keep our great land proud and free

Presented to the People of the United States
at the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge
during the Bicentennial celebration on August 27, 1976
by former Prisoners of War with the prayerful hope
that the leaders of nations will find the wisdom to
abolish war forever...that all people will learn to live
in peace and harmony...that care and involvement will
predominate and become the guiding virtues of the human race.
