Mr. Speaker. when the early immigrants to our shores caught their first glimpse of Old Glory fluttering in the clean free wind of the New World. their eyes filled with tears of gratitude to Almighty God. and their hearts were lifted up with fresh hope and faith and courage and resolution. Even as they fled the ancient oppressions and quarrels of the Old World to defend and enjoy the privileges and opportunities of the New World. so today once more their sons and their sons sonsyes. and their daughters. tooare fighting and dying all over the world under the same glorious flag to preserve for us and our children and the countless generations as yet unborn those same privileges and opportunities. What did our gallant marines. storming the bloodstained beach head at Guadalcanal. think and feel as they followed that banner into battle. followed Old Glory through the perilous murk and mist of the tropic dawn. followed through shot and shell and ambush and deathuntil that flag floated in triumph over the Solomons?
