it works... thanx a ton for the help!!!

the men who fought and died in the building of this great nation. It is a pledge to
fulfill our duties and obligations as citizens of the United States, and to uphold the
principles of our constitution. And last but not least, it is a pledge to maintain
the four great freedoms treasured by all Americans: freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.�
