Greetings and Salutations: Service to God and Country is basic Americanism. It is not a fostering of religious worship in order to appease any element of our citizenry or to draw attention from any less desirable social activities. Since it is essentially basic Americanism, it is strictly non-denominational, non-sectarian. It is not intended to act independently of religion groups, but to cooperate with them to the end that the American people might never forget that God is the source of all their rights and privileges. It is the same observation that has caused the great American Legion to reemphasize the spiritual foundations upon which our nation rests. For this is the day when Americans must be spiritually strong. If America is to live. It is the aim and objective of this American Legion program, “Service to God and Country,” to bring God to the foreground in American Life. Not merely the religious life, but the social, economical, and political life as well. God is essential part of Americanism. Without God, there is no Americanism.
