In the blood-heat of pursuing the enemy, many people are forgetting what we are fighting for. We are fighting for our hard-won liberty and freedom; for our Constitution and the due processes of our laws; and for the right to differ in ideas, religion and politics. I am convinced that in your zeal to fight against our enemies, you, too, have forgotten what you are fighting for. Julia Child
About This Quote

Theodore Roosevelt wrote this letter to the American Legion in 1913, just after the passage of the Espionage Act. It was Roosevelt's way of reminding his fellow soldiers what they were fighting for. We must never forget, he said, what we are fighting for. That is why we must fight for our rights with all our strength and determination.
