CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-HOUSE

[blocks in formation]

Today, people near air defense bases get similar reassurance from the sound of your Air Force jets as they climb into the sky to make sure that all is still well above us. Also at Bedford Hascom Air Force Base the Air Force Reserve is training. The Bedford wing is making grand progress. case of any national emergency our Reserves will be a skilled, trained backup to our regular forces.

In

The laboratories at Bedford, as you well know, are some of the finest in America. The work being done there will eventually result in better defense for us all.

All over America, our air bases are parts of the community in which they are located and which they protect. The air base at Bedford is certainly a part of this community. Like the patriots of Lexington in 1775, you play a valuable part in the modern day defense of our liberty. One of the ways you do this is in support of the defense we are required to have today.

Your celebration here today is visible and heartwarming evidence that our love of freedom here in America is as strong as ever. As liberty was menaced in the days of the mon we honor, it is menaced in our own time but now the menace is on a global scale. We recognize that if we wait until the evil that menaces our liberty is at our doorstep, it would be too late. In this air age, we must stop the march of communism far from our shores. The farther from our shores we stop it, the better chances are that we can do it without a war.

In these days, courage backed up by firmness and great strength give us our best chance for a lasting peace.

Daniel Webster recognized this in 1830. He said:

"God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard it and defend it."

We must remember those words as we honor the gallant few who first sounded the trumpets of liberty at Lexington. They passed on the torch of freedom to us and it is the duty of the patriots of today to keep that flame bright.
