Analysis of National Security
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
A judgment reached by reasoning
Is what I give you here today
You have to guard your heart and mind
And every word you say
If you will only do these things
The blessing will be yours
The riches of the nation’s now
Come to you from distant shores
All the men of integrity!
