A Letter to the Graduating High School Class of 1941

Newtown High - Elmhurst, New York

Dear Boys and Girls,

You are graduating from Newtown at a time when every signal of history points to days of trial ahead for our beloved Country. I should be false to truth should I fail in this hour, to tell you that you will be called upon for service, sacrifice, and suffering. Knowing the care with which you have been taught the sacred principles of our Democracy, I am sure that you will labor to the utmost that the Nation which has educated you and nurtured you will survive in honor and glory. It is my prayer that you will remember ever your pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. More than upon any other class, America in its hour of crisis, depends upon the bravery of its youth. You cannot fail in Nobility, Integrity, and Loyalty.

Albert S. Roberts
Principal, Newtown High

Letter: Principal Roberts to the graduating high school class of 1941, published in the yearbook. Shortly after, thousands of young brave Americans left our shores to defend our great Nation.

INDEPENDENCE DAY - "PATRIOTS DAY" - 2011 

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen

united States of America

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
