OB e WE-ALL The Japanese attack on the United States instantly changed our trend of thought in this country. Before that attack some of us thought in terms of “I”, others in terms of “we". Neither of those terms expresses our feelings today. “I" represents only one person. "We" may mean only two or a few persons. Our slogan now is WE-ALL, which means every loyal individual in the United States. We are facing a long, hard job, but when the United States decides to fight for a cause, it is in terms of WE-ALL, an d nothing can or will stop us. President Roosevelt, our Commander-in-Chief, can lie certain that WE-ALL are back of him, determined to protect our country, our form of government, and the freedoms which we cherish.
