"Roads of 

 Remembrance " 



TT is the suggestion of the American 

 Forestry Association, made the day 

 following the signing of the armistice, that 

 trees be planted in honor of America's 

 soldiers and sailors, both as memorials 

 to the dead and as tributes of appreciation 

 to the living for their offer of service. 



The Memorial Tree planting idea strikes 

 a patriotic chord which should receive 

 the support of the Bankers of America. 

 For it is but the beginning of a great for- 

 ward-sweeping desire and determination 

 on the part of the people of America to 

 see their cities and parks and local, as 

 well as transcontinental, highways beauti- 

 fied with handsome trees and their forest 

 resources enriched through a deepening 

 and broadening of conservation methods 

 and reforestation. 



In connection with the movement, there 

 is a plan proposed which would provide 

 for a county unit system placing memorial 

 tablets to the men who gave their lives 

 for their country, the tablets to be placed 

 on the county courthouse or on memorial 

 highways extending from county to 

 county, preferably at the points where 

 these roads enter adjoining counties. 



Cities large and small throughout the 

 nation are showing their approval of 

 "Tribute Trees." In our parks and 

 along our highways they \\ ill serve as a 

 living tribute to American heroism. They 

 will mark our "Roads of Remembrance."
