How jnuch these simple words meon to us we
never con know—unless we some doy lose
them. Ever since the first intrepid colonists set
YoorpnTERis s?ff; we have paused ih crur stride
to soy out loud—ond feel deep in our hearts—
"Merrie Christmas, neighbors!"
We Americans have rejoiced through many a
peaceful, joyous Yuletide; ond we hove fought
through many a grim, war-darkened Christmas.
But we keep the Star in the East as our promise
of ffeedokn ond peace. Our courage is born of
faith, "our cause It ig just," so we sing while
we fight, ond fight while we sing.
This year we ore only repeating on experience
we as a notion have experienced mony^ many
tim?s, so we ore up and coming in the same
indomitable way. We hove much tb/focelbut
we hove very very muchjto be thankful for. So
cheerio, merci, grocios, thanks a million,
neighbors.
