CAVALRY CAVALLERY as fighting unit was a neglegted from the beginning days of the Revolution, for different reason. Generaly speaking there was little opportunity for the proper use of cavalry among the mountains and the heavily wooded terrain of New England, where much of the early fighting in the war took place; \ Revolution started by the colopist, and not by the rich— but the very poor, and they can't afforded the great expensis involved.

(Folytatás a 9-ik oldalról) mény sugárzó fénye. Önmagunkat kell megtalálnunk! Olyan körülmé­nyek között élünk, hogy ha hibáin­kat, tévedéseinket okosan felismer­ve félretesszük gyengeségeinket és nevetséges kicsinyességünket, meg­próbáljuk egymást megérteni, sze­retni és segíteni, felbecsülhetetlen szolgálatokat tehetünk népünknek, nemzetünknek. 1976 jelentős esztendő számunk­ra: Rákóczi Ferenc emlékéve s ez év őszén érkezünk dicsőséges nem­zeti felkelésünk és szabadsághar­cunk 20-ik évfordulójához. Legyen ez az esztendő a MAGYAR SZENT ÉV, a MAGYAR NEMZETI ÖNTU­DAT ÉBREDÉSÉNEK, a MAGYAR TESTVÉRI ÖSSZEFOGÁSNAK A SZENT ÉVE. Mert testvérek va­gyunk a NEMZETBEN, magyarnak születtünk. Amikor megszülettünk, csak magyarok voltunk, minden egyéb bennünket egymástól elvá­lasztó sallangot csak ezután akasz­tottak reánk. Nemzetünk sirgödrét ellenségeink már sokszor megásták, de az Örök­kévaló Ür, a Magyarok Istene mind­annyiszor megóvott bennünket a végpusztulástól, megmentett a fel­támadás reménye nélküli nemzet­haláltól! Tatárjárás, törökdúlás, Habsburg rabság, világháborúk vé­res orkánjai nem tudnak bennünket elpusztítani, "megfogyva bár, de törve nem" él nemzetünk. Élteti a magyar igazság győzelmébe vetett hitünk. Hitünket, önmagunkba vetett bi­zalmunkat megerősíti, hogy ma már tudjuk: nem vagyunk elkorcsosult népmaradékokból összeverődött gyökértelen, gyülevész népség, mint ahogy ezt ellenségeink évszázadokon át hirdették. Nagy és dicső múltúnk ismeretében, felébredt magyar ön­tudattal lépünk nemezti megújulá­sunk szent évébe. Rákóczi Fejedelmünk szellemében a márciusi ifjak lelkesedésével és a Magyar Október harcosainak bátor­ságával fogjuk a magyar igazság ügyét fáradhatatlanul szolgálni. Ügy, ahogy azt nemzetünk nagy fia, aki vértanúságot szenvedett hitéért, mondotta és hirdette: A nemzet szolgálatában meghalni lehet, de elfáradni soha!
