A beloved president of the United
States and a Great American like
Steve Eisenhower Gen. alike,
I should like to note that when our
Founding Fathers in the Declaration
wanted to explain to the whole
world the read for this revolution.
You'll recall they said a decent
respect for the opinion of mankind
impels them to declare the reasons
which led to the separation.
And they started off this
statement of reason.
Do we hold that all men are created, created,
and are endowed by their Creator in capital
letters with certain unalienable rights,
among which are life,
liberty, liberty happens?
Now, my friend, right there,
when those men meeting in Philadelphia,
writing the declaration,
wanted to explain to the world how we had
a right to make this kind of a revolution.
Carry out this kind of revolution
against some other country.
They said,
because we were given certain
rights by our Creator,
proving in my mind that our society
is the political expression,
political expression.
Of my faith religious beliefs.
Well, the last time that you were here,
General, when you flew in by helicopter
to the San Diego Country Club.
That's right. But it was a all the
mayors of all the Americas were here.
We certainly would like to have you
come to San Diego more often and
know our city well. I'd like to.
Southern California is playing a very
important role in your life now,
is it not, Sir? Well, yes. Never. Winter.
General General the freedom's foundation is
plays a very important part in your life.
But also. I'm chairman of the board.
Could you tell us what the significance of
the Freedoms Foundation is to American life?
Well, it's scarcely the place to do it
here because it's a very big subject.
But they're trying to teach good citizenship.
That's the big thing.
That's all right ahead.
It's your reaction to the welcome
you received in San Diego.
So it was wonderful. It was wonderful.
I can't remember of enjoying a fifth
one video edition to San Diego.
And you. Ohh there that goes to me too.
Thank you. Thank you. Good luck.
Bye. Thank you very much.
This is a very nice day.
Thank you.
I believe that the highest
position that anybody in this
world can aspire is to be a truly
good citizen of his own country,
his own free country,
and be a part of the self governing
mechanisms of that country.
Somewhat oversimplified, possibly.
This is the only basic purpose of
freedom's foundation, to become and be
a truly good citizen.
Good night
of
the United States.
We turn our attention very largely.
To the youth, they are the ones that
will take over through all of us.
They will be responsible for this country,
for its spiritual, for its economic,
material and military strength.
But for just the evening,
rather than talking about
that decade that's come,
let me talk about the press today.
Now. What is each of us doing to make
circles that we are doing our full duty?
the United States of America?
Are we truly studying the issues of today,
not the partisan issues?
I didn't want to twitch the
political buttons this evening.
Something that an old expolitician
is very quick to respond.
I just want to talk What should each of us do
to fulfill because those duties are married?
None of us can do all of them,
but each can find his own niche.
Because let us remember,
our security is not to be found.
Merely insanes and guns and ships
and tanks and bombs and missiles.
We know that.
And a matter of fact,
military men are the first ones to recognize.
With all these things.
You could have them in any number you want,
without the morale,
without the will,
without the determination to use them proper.
Do them to preserve the peace.
And without the economic strength
to keep them healthy and up to date,
then we would be nothing each of us
in not in talking about the dictate
of the number of airplanes or
the ship that we should have,
although the papers often make these.
The headline subject,
that is, for the professional.
But we can study the United
States and her relations with us.
We can understand the we can
study United States and her
faithful and inherent
to the great Princess
that were set down for us by ourselves,
by our founding fathers. In the declaration
in the Constitution in Lincoln
Address at Gettysburg,
we can study those and apply what we
learn from them to the problems of today.
We can come up with common sense solution
and support those people that are so
dedicated and are studying with us.
So thank you. If this is true,
then all of the problems that they
for us today have a moral aspect as
well as the material or economics
we must make. Each must
make this decision for him.
Is it right or is it not right?
Is the leader?
Then we choose to follow.
Is he right?
Is he expressing something
that is expedient or is
vote getting or is it right
my friend, I please that people touches your
house that have given yourselves the type,
the ups doing something for a
little boy I heard this evening.
Right now, they're doing something for
a little blind boy of mixing practice.
I can't tell you how much I'd like to belong.
This is the kind of thing that gives
us the right to say I am an American.
I am an American that's trying to do
his full duty as an American citizen.
I'm trying to understand the problems
of my fellow citizens and of my of
the other nations of this hemisphere
and indeed of the entire free work.
And in doing so, I will do my best.
Support those pops,
those people will say, man, history,
all man hearts gave us you doubt.
By their creators.
As long as we do this no matter what we are,
whether it be worked or ringing bells,
or making sure that everybody's
registered and doing his part
in making our system work or is
devoting money, whatever he does,
let him do it with his part,
with his head, with his hands and for it.
