"What constitutes an American? Not color nor race nor religion. Not the pedigree of his family nor the place of his birth. Not his social status nor his bank account. Not his trade nor his profession. An American is one who loves justice and believes in the dignity of man.

An American is one who will fight for his freedom and that of his neighbor. An American is one who will sacrifice property, ease, and security in order that he and his children may retain the rights of free men." Harold Ickles, May 18, 1941
