Education—Key to Civil Defense Success

Abstract

Should we? Well, as you know, I am very concerned about the future of our country. I owe terribly much to this country, and I became devoted to it when I was grown up. You know, when wearechildren and we learn that we should be grateful to some organization or some institution we soon forget that because we take it for granted that they will help us. But the favors we receive when grown up stay with us and we remain grateful for them. Since I received so much from our country as a grown-up, I do think perhaps more of its future than the average citizen. And there is another factor why I am so devoted to civil defense. Most people may intellectually know that civil defense is important, that the country is in danger. They know it, but they don’t believe it. But I have seen countries perish, and so I not only know that this is possible, I even believe it.
