Letter to Editor Dear Editor: There has been such a show of indignation over the disre spect to the National Anthem during the Olympics award ce remony that we think this is the time for education of the public to the correctly way to show our respect for the Flag and the United States. We of the American Legion Auxiliary think our general pu blic is uncertain about the pro per manner in which to show respect but that they want to know how to be correct. These quotations are from Public Law 829—77th Congress, Chapter 806—2d Session, J. J. Res. 359 Sec. 5 “That during the ce remony of hoisting or lower ing the Flag or when the Flag is passing in a parade or in a review, all persons present should face the Flag, stand at attention, and salute . . . The salute to the Flag in the mov ing column should be render ed at the moment the Flag passes.” Sec. 6 “That when the na tional anthem is played and the Flag is not displayed, all pre sent should stand and face to ward the music. Those in uni form should salute at the first note of the anthem, retaining this position until the last note. All others should stand at at tention, men removing the headdress. When the Flag is displayed, all present should face the Flag and salute.” Since there is no reference to the observance when the an them is being sung, the Natio nal Americanism Commission of the American Legion has this interpretation: “If the Na tional Anthem is sung by the entire audience, or a soloist, those persons present should stand but not salute." Sec. 2 (e) “The Flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of so cieties are grouped and display ed from staffs.” * One Nation Under God Some have forgotten Him and others say He is dead, but to the 50,000 members of The National Exchange Club, God is very much alive and of prime importance in their lives. Annually in November, Ex- changites from throughout the United States and Puerto Rico proudly proclaim their faith in God by sponsoring an obser vance they call “One Nation Under God” Month. The pur pose of the program is to re mind all of how important trust in God has been and continues to be to our nation. In overcoming the national crises which have confronted America through the years, re ligious faith has played a cru % % j? A* ^ A ^ \ % “YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS” 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 cial role. Many times the Founding Fathers were hard pressed in the fight for liberty but they never faltered. They believed in God and called upon His help in their speech es, writings and prayers. From their struggles emerged a new nation whose greatest source of strength and inspiration has been the religious principles upon which it was founded. Today, there are many who have lost faith in God. This is true at a time in which America faces a serious loss of national purpose and confidence. Should not we, as a nation, turn our attention to the renewing of our faith in God and in our selves? The Exchangites think so. Through their program, they are asking us not to abandon God as the guiding light in the building and maintaining of our country. Rather, they would have us frequently reaffirm the proposition that we are “One Nation Under God” and that this republic is “indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” What better time is there than November in which to reassess our spiritual resources and re solve to live in greater har mony with God. Thanksgiving Day and the entire month is a perfect time to reaffirm our faith in God and also show our appreciation by thanking Him for the bountiful blessings He has bestowed upon our nation.
