Dear President Ike:
Please pardon me for intruding on
your precious time again only a few hours after my pre-
vious note, but I have to get the following off my chest
also.
Of course your meeting with "K" had a high political
significance but to me it also had a deeply religious
significance. It was really an historic meeting both
politically & in a religious way. As the undisputed
champion of the free world, which freedom is based
on faith in God, who created man in His own image,
you placed "K". the champion of atheism, as the champion
of theism. In you & K"" Theism & athiesm met face
to face.
Since the world seems to be dividing into these two
camps, would it not be a good thing to have the mottos
of the Service Academies express faith in God. Our
own motto of the U.S. military Academy -Duty, Honor
Country - is wonderful, but it has always seemed to
me it would be completed & represent the thinking of the
Founding Father's better of it read -Duty, Honor,
County, God. That would really be following
through. Again, this calls for no reply.
Devotedly
Johnnie
