Ukraine and several other countries which had set up their own independent republics after the revolution were seized by Russian military forces in 191920 and forcibly incorporated into the Soviet scheme. Then began the long uphill struggle to again attain independence which is rightfully theirs. a struggle which was seemingly hopeless during the years. a fight for freedom of the entire Ukrainian people in the subjugated area which will only end when the united independent sovereign Ukrainian State is again reestablished as it was in 191819. when the freely expressed will of the Ukrainian people created the democratic and progressive national republic. Ukrainia was among the first of the nations which Communist Russia. in her mad quest for power shortly after World War I. decided to annex and despite mass deportation. purges. destruction of her churches and industry. she resisted with all her national spirit and moral fiber and will go down in history as an outstanding symbol of courage in the struggle for freedom and independence. Our hearts go out to those 40 million freedomloving people who have and will continue. to resist the iron heel of communistic Russia until that glorious day when Ukraine will cease to be a captive nation and will take her place in the sun alongside of other freedomloving countries of the world. I also wish to salute the many thousands of Ukrainians in this country who have carried on the fight for freedom of their native land and hope with them that the day is not too far distant when we can all celebrate together their absolute separation from the yoke of communism.
