The world viewed with horror the treatment of this nation. which was but expressing its pentup longing for the freedom it had known for centuries. The United Nations held special meetings passing resolutions condemning the use of Soviet military forces to suppress the efforts of the Hungarian people to assert their rights. The nations sent aid and comfort to the Hungarian nation. and provided homes around the world for the tens of thousands of refugees from the terror. The courage and valor of the Hungarian patriots was hailed the world over. but more especially the evidence of the undying spirit of liberty which no amount of oppression could stifle. Ten years later we are honoring the occasion which illuminated the belief in freedom against all odds.
