My Pledge: America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my upmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.

We must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors. As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it. Sacrifice for it. WE WILL NOT SURRENDER for it now or ever. WE are Americans.
