By October 29. 1956. after days of pitched battles between armored tanks and Hungarian students armed with stones and Molotov cocktails. the streets of Budapest were red with the blood of its citizens. and sadly. still Red with the continued imposition of Communist military and political power. The response of the American people was magnificant. We came to the aid of the revolts victims by providing medicine. food. and sincere welcome to the thousands of refugees who came to these shores. Many of those refugees have made significant contributions toward making this a better America. But few indeed. if any. have forgotten their former countrymen who daily labor under the Communist system. unable to enjoy the blessings of a free society. The Hungarian patriots gave the term "freedom fighters" true meaning and the world must not forget what those thousands of fallen heroes accomplished.
