patriotic women who keep alive
the spirit of Memorial Day, and
who see to it that our soldier deed
are never forgotten. Such groups
of women, to whom too much
honor can never be paid, are rep
resented here today. May God
bless them and their noble work.
M I like to think of Memorial
Day as applying to all our soldier
dead of all our wars. We cannot
forget those courageous men and
boys of the American Revolution
who gave their lives that you and
I might live in a glorious land of
liberty and freedom. Consider the
.men of Marion, Sumter and Pick
ens and all other soldiers of the
Revolution. Hungry, ragged,
weary, and discouraged, yet their
t never faltered, and they
ever forward in the
struggle until the final victory
was won and freedom was estab
lished. Let us. in spirit at least, on
this Memorial Day, decorate their
graves and let them know that
we have not forgotten. And the

those of our own day and time
are taken as a matter of course.
This should not be so. It is im
possible adequately to express the
debt of gratitude we owe to the
heroic men and women of World
War II who gave up their lives in
that great and devastating
struggle. Life was very real and
y sweet to those young men
iting our battles in the far cor
ners of the earth, on land and
sea and in the air. It was not easy
for these men to venture into the
dark vale. They all must have
longed to see the bright shores of
America just one more time. They
all longed for one more look at
the feces of their loved ones—
