Memorial Day 



The approach of this day arouses thoughts of draped flags, firing squads 

 and an endless profusion ot flowers. Flowers for the dead heroes of the 

 Revolution, the War of 1812, the Indian Wars, the Mexican, the Spanish- 

 American, and now— the heroes of the World War. 



This placing of flowers on the graves of the soldiers, sailors and marines, 

 is a beautiful custom, springing from a beautiful thought. 



But ALL those who lie, "each in his narrow bed," have fought a battle 

 —the battle of life, and their graves, too, should be honored with flowers. 

 Not one should go unadorned. And if they won before they quit— more 

 honor to them. And if they lost— why, more pity for them. And so shall 

 we remember our dead. 



But what of the living? 



The battle and life worn veterans of the Civil War; the graying veterans 

 of the Spanish War; and the maimed veterans we have just welcomed to 

 our homeland. Many of the first are in Soldiers' Homes, or are confined 

 to the limits of their own dooryards— many of the last are even now in 

 hospitals or they are spending weary days in wheel chairs in their own 

 homes. Why not brighten their Memorial Day with flowers? 



May we not do our part, each in his own way, to carry these thoughts 

 into actualities?
