OF AMERICAN SOLDIER
»VIVES INNOVATIONS IN WAR
Warfare has chanjred and thef individual soldier has
with it. said John Carl West, local attorney ip
‘Korial Day addrete at Quaker cemetery on Sunday
JtiMn May 9, “but there is one common thread which
ruiininR throughout all'the wars of American his-
which has survived all the changes and innovations
modem ww^are."
tWe term, and this spirit or Qoalitr
goert deeper than physical courage.
Others say It^ta simply s- manites-
Utlon of the superior Intelligence
and ability of ihe-Amof^can people,
bnt these peopie are egotists rather
than analysts. It is that intangible,
almost divine quality which has
guided and inspired our fighting
mn for nearly two hundred years
and which has been reflected in
every war in which they have par
ticipated.
“It was that spirit which kept
the spark of the Revolution alive
in ’7®, when the Tory might had
loverrtjin the colonies and the cause
of .liberay seemed doomed. That
spirit burning in the breasts of
Washington. Marion. Sumter. Mor
gan. DeKalb and the rest enabled
the colonies to gain final victory
years ago yesterday thel*^^* ov^heliilifig odds,
y . j -nr— n ‘At HO tims did that spirit blaze
so bright in
common thread. Mr. Wwt
••I. the ***•
^cantoWier and the prs^
fJStage which we cherish and
Of today.
“ midreas of Mr. West, which
, most impressive one, fol-
L sure it is with a sense of
humility respect t^t we
.r here this afternoon to pay
^0 our hoDorod wsr qoaq.
fTonly fittin* should,
■nl assembled hwe on a quiet
L afternoon. turn our
irhts to those who gave their
for cause and country and
the nature of the debt
we owe our patriot dead, and
'‘J^DS that entitle them tb a
, of particular honor in our so-
»B phase of World War II
d As the memory of that great
lict fades with the passing of
we are already faced writh
rpredictlons as to the probabili-
of another world war in the not
distant future. We must recog-
the possibility that the ranks
Ithoie we honor here today may
dn be swelled by fresh casual-
. from future conflicts.
|Ai we look back over the pana-
of history, so replete with
we see that the wars of our
ttry bear living proof of tte
^cement of the teebnioil skills
fclrlltzation. The minds of mea
la BOW Invented and created new
kpoBs of destruction ao as to
ka war a greater Instrument of
an carnage than ever before in
history of the world. In tact.
[ lee little resemblance between
wars of yester year and today,
atom bomb, the Jet fighter,
the automatic rifles and canon
„ we came to know so well in
recent war seem far removed
1 the muzzle loading muskets of
^olutlonary soldiers or from the
da single shot rifle used by our
ihers during the War-Betw^
States.
[■Even the individual soldier has
Dged. ^ong with his weapons,
[longer can the farmer leave bis
during a slack season and
re his cause and country simply
[picking up ihis rifle, mounting
I horse and riding off to battle,
has become a scientific strug-
ctiling for constant training,
erior equipment and vast prep-

[IH warfare has changed, uid
lindiridual soldier hsm changed
it. But there Is one common
which we find running
Bghoat all the wars of Ameri-
I history, which has sunrlTed.alI
[changes and innovations of mod-
warfare. This common thread
Ithe iptrlt of the American sol-
ud is the precious heritage
Ich we cherish and honor to-
[Jt ii difficult to analyse or de-
adequately this 'spirit of the
^ soldier.’ Some nre content
»il it heroism or valor on the
I of battle. But bravery la a rela
the breasts of men
than during those turbulent years,
^1881-65. Perhaps the rightqpusness
of the cause bore a relation to the
extent of the spirit. It was that
spirit that kept the Southern Con
federacy flghUng so long and with
such marked success against such
loverwhehning odds. It was that
spirit which caused boys of 14 or
16 ,to leave the security of their
homes for a man’s place in the
ranks of battle when the thin grey
lines had no other reserves to fill
depleted ranks.
“Above all that spirit withstood
the acid 'test ... of defeat on the
field of battle. Bnt despite ultimate
surrender to vastly superior
strength, the spirit of the wearers
of the grey remained. Inviolate.
“And ao we have this spirit car
ried on down into World Wars I
and n. The rush to volunteer, the
many acts and Instances of bravery
and self aacrifice which have come
to be a part of the accepted tradi
tion of the American soldier. It was
that spirit which Icept our soldiers
on Bataan and Corregidor fighting
when all hope of victory or even
survival was gone. That spirit
nutured them through the tortures
of Japanese prison camps, through
the mud, sleet and cold of European
foxholes.
“So today, the purpose of our
gathering here today is not to hon
or the mortal remains of those who
gave their lives in one of our coun
try’s battles. Nor is it to honor.the
cause for which they made the su
preme sacrifice. Although those
causes are sacred to us, the passage
of time on occasion makes it diffi
cult to remember with complete ac
curacy the exact causes for which
our country and our men have
fought. ^
“But we do pay honor timay to
the spirit which caused our de
parted comrades to go forth Into
battle and make the Suprune Sac
rifice. We honor their love of
cauee and country, their unselfish
service, their herc^n^ smd above
all, their unconquerable spirit
“The flict that we do honor that
spirit so mudi, will I am sure se
an hmntlve and an inspiration to
future generationa who wiUi^ly
will answer their country's call
In case of another war, knowing
full well that many of those who
answer will never return, bnt thoce
doomed not to return will know
that they Join honored ranks and
their memoriee will ever be cherish
ed and perpetuated in the mlnda of
their countrymen through mcerclses
such as thesek"
