The people of Europe who are defending themselves do not ask us to do their fighting. They ask us for the implements of war, the
planes, the tanks, the guns, the freighters which will enable them to fight for their liberty and for our security. Emphatically, we must get theses weapons to them, get them to them in sufficient volume and quickly enough so that we and our children will be saved the agony and suffering of war which others have had to endure. —President Roosevelt
