My fellow Americans, I know many of you are fearful after today's events-- Fearful of the specter of darkness that fell across this shining land! Let me tell you that that darkness has been banished-- That this nation's spirit is strong once again! The symbols of our heritage, our culture and our way of life that seemed to teeter on the brink, still stand on a firm foundation! But we who are entrusted with preserving America's proud traditions cannot afford to let our vigilance slacken. We must always remember the meaning of what we stand for... Because as long as we stand for the freedom of all mankind, we know that we will never stand alone!

Synopsis for Superman/The Freedom Fighters: "Born on the Fourth of July"
Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters come to Earth-One to stop Neo-Nazis from stealing and destroying America's most precious documents, an act which, on Earth-X, led to the Third Reich's victory. But Superman is busy with other national crises, and cannot help them. He doesn't fully realize the importance of what they're doing until they succeed, and their victory causes the other problems to vanish.

This story was published in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #2, which very few people saw.
