Eisenhowers Political Creed on Citizenship and Duty
The essay outlines Eisenhowers view that free people must blend individual and common good without coercion. He links citizenship to teaching, voting, and vigilance against overreach, stresses military service as a civic duty, warns against apathy in politics, and defends press freedom while condemning censorship as a dangerous shortcut. Also notes Edith Elmore returning from St Louis after a visit with relatives.
