All the races, religions, and nationalities of the world were represented in the armed forces of this nation, as they were in the body of our population. No man's patriotism was impugned or service questioned because of his racial origin, his political opinion, or his religious convictions. Immigrants and sons of immigrants from the central European countries fought side by side with those who descended from the countries which were our allies, with the sons of equatorial Africa, and with the red men of our own aboriginal population, '''all of them equally proud of the name ''Americans'''''.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "All the races, religions, and nationalities of the world were represented in the armed forces of this nation, as they were in the body of our population. No man's patriotism was impugned or service questioned because of his racial origin, his political opinion, or his religious convictions. Immigrants and sons of immigrants from the central European countries fought side by side with those who descended from the countries which were our allies, with the sons of equatorial Africa, and with the red men of our own aboriginal population, '''all of them equally proud of the name ''Americans'''''." in the context of "Calvin Coolidge, Toleration and Liberalism (6 October 1925), American Legion Convention, Omaha, Nebraska." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
