Must Win Peace in Victory Says Law
We rejected the German offer to negotiate not from conquest or revenge but because peace must be based on victory. A peace that leaves the military machine intact and in the hands of those who prepared for war would risk renewed world horrors. Our aims align with Wilson as our sons and brothers fight for it, praying for peace and safety for those returning and honoring those who fell.
