From coast to coast this year. thousands of VFW Posts and Auxiliaries sparked demonstrations in appreciation of the American concept of human liberty. Parades. flag presentations. patriotic programs. radio and television performances. and numerous other events were dedicated to the theme "Loyalty Means Liberty" in communities large and small. In the metropolitan areas. the VFW was joined with enthusitsm by societies composed of foreign born citizens who were delighted with the opporunity to publicly proclaim their loyalty to America by taking part in VFW Loyalty Day demonstrations. Much of the success of our 1956 efforts must be credited to the accomplishments of the department Loyalty Day chairmen in nearly all of the 48 States. As a result of their labors. we again received Loyalty Day proclamations from nearly all governors.
