The Stars and Stripes in the Service of Humanity
"We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no
dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material
compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are
but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied
when those rights have been as secure as the faith and the freedom
of the nation can make them."
From President Wilson's Message to Congress, April 2, 1917.
