Pardon me, was your Flag flying?
It is forty years since the Arm
«4tice of W"WI was signed, ending
the “war to end war.” A day,
which by Presidential Proclama
tion, is designated a Legal Holi
day.
Have we forgotten the Argon
jne, Bel lea u Wood, I wo Jima and
Omaha Beach?
Have we become so self-satis
fied that we accept this holiday |
without giving thought to why? i
Can we not remember with sym- i
holism those who did not return
Lam the battlefields of Europe
anil the Far East? Can we not
tumor those who did come back
only to be permanent disability
cases? Is it out-of-date to display
om patriotism by the living sym -
tool of “Old Glory”?
.1 thank God that I am an Am
mancan citizen, and as such, feel
privileged to display the Flag of
«mr Country whenever indicated.
In Palmer Tuesday I saw one
Flag aloft. Are you proud of your
-part in Veterans Day, 1958?
