Governor's message at Legion
Convention.
American people can take a solemn
pride.
I think it would be appropriate
in appraising the greatness o^ this
victory to record a tribute to our
late groat Commander-in Chief,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
architect of that victory. Within
five months of his tragic death both
Germany and Japan had surrendered.
The plans that he had made as Com
mandcr-in-Chief with the able nsr«
sistanoe of his outstanding lieuten
ants, Generals Marshall,Eisenhower,
MacArthur and Arnold, and Admirals,.
Leahy, Xing and Mimit-2, ipho will .
join him on history’s-... sc roll of
fame, were materialized in a 'fashlor
so impressive pnd so overwhelming
that our victory ahead of schedule
has left us in a sense unprepared
and unready for the breaking out of
Peace.
It is the problems brought' about
by that sudden arrival of peace that
concern us particularly here today.
In addressing you, my fellow
Legionnaires, I cannot help but fool
that we of the Legion have a pecul
iar and soecial responsibility, '.7a
represent the survivors of the A'ir3t
’world V/ar, But for the almost van
ished remnant of Civil War veterans’
and a handful of Spanish War Vfltrr
ens,the Legion embodies that group
