We have been reminded in a special way that our\nnational character has been shaped by the accumulated wisdom\nand experience of many nations and individuals.\nIt is only fitting that we express our pride in the indelible\nstamp of Jewish wisdom and experience on our way of life.\nThis influence was strong and vital from the moment the\nAmerican continent became a promised land of hope and oppor-\ntunity. Our early settlers closely identified with the teach-\nings of the Prophets and dedicated themselves in this spirit to\nbuilding a land that would make the vision of the Prophets a\nreality.\nThis was the spirit that sparked our independence and sus-\ntained us through many difficult struggles on the way to be-\ncoming a nation. It is also the spirit that has sustained the\nJewish people and brought about the creation of the modern\nstate of Israel. It is the same spirit that marks the special\nfriendship of the American and Israeli people and guides us\nin our commitment to preserve the independence and security\nof both our lands.\nAmerican Jews can take satisfaction in their unsurpassed\nrecord of humanitarian concern, civic responsibility and devo-\ntion to justice. As individuals and through their organizations,\nthey have worked tirelessly and unselfishly to live up to the\nFaith of their fathers and the aspirations of the Founding\nFathers of our country. With this in mind, Mrs. Ford and I\nextend our best wishes for a prosperous, satisfying and happy\nNew Year.\nHerald R. Ford\nFORD LIBRARY & BERALD"
