Lexington, 1775, they fought for freedom, we fight to keep it; Independence, July 4, 1776, they kept the faith and so do you every time you lend a dime for war savings stamps; John Paul Jones said, I have not yet begun to fight, fight with war stamps & bonds; Washington crossed the Delaware to win our freedom, we cross oceans to keep it.
