HUY PLL (1)
Excerpt from Pieces of the Past
Erin Sullivan
Nate slammed the garage door shut with a loud bang-hopefully loud enough for Granddad to hear from inside the house. Nate
was angry, angry at his parents for abandoning him at this house during his long vacation, angry for having to spend a beautiful
sunny day clearing out a dark and damp garage.
2 The dusty garage once housed vehicles, but over time it became cramped with Granddad's possessions. Tightly packed boxes,
bags, and trunks were stacked to the ceiling.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
