From the National Public Relations Division lof the American Legion
Armistice Day in 1918, if you remember, was a day of rejoicing.
The fighing in Europe was stopped. The great war, involving the
major powers of the earth; the great war that killed with poison
gas and armored tanks, as well as with cannon and cold steel; the
struggle that first gave war its third dimension of horror, the zep
pelin raids on sleeping cities from the skies; was, we thought,
forever ended.
But there has been a second world war on a far more collossal
scale, and a stalemated Korean War and we know better now what
“armistice” means. It is not for celebration, it is for prayer. It is
to pay homage to those who have fought — those who have died
fighting (and those who have lived — perhaps to fight again. It
is to recognize the debt we also owe to the thousands of soldiers
and sailors and airmen who have not yet seen battle, but who
have postponed their own careers for our protection — who have
alreadv given us of their youth and stand ready to give all.
Arlington National Cemetery — where hundreds of veteran
graves are still brown with fresh-turned earth, and more are dus
each day — will be the scene of the traditional memorial service;
under the sponsorship of The American Leeinn. The r-+i^n’r'
leaders and highest dignitaries will pay solemn tribute at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier, and Americans everywhere will echo this
reverence in their hearts.
