A chance to do your bit 



F 



'OR more than two score years now, we, 

 the citizens of these United States, have 

 paused in the hurry and turmoil of business 

 long enough to turn aside for one day in every 

 year and do reverence to the nation's dead — 

 and to offer a silent prayer of thanks for 

 these real men who, in the hour of need, were 

 ready and willing to give the fullest measure 

 of devotion to the country which had given 

 them the greatest amount of freedom in 

 developing their lives and opportunities. And 

 now this hour of need again is upon us and, 

 without blare of trumpets or shouting of 

 multitudes, strong men, good men, the best 

 of the land are quietly stepping forward, 

 even as their fathers and grandfathers did, 

 to show that they are not unmindful of their 

 obligation to this nation. 



It has always seemed fitting that we 

 should show in some way our appreciation 

 of the sacrifice made by our honored dead, 

 and nothing has ever better expressed this 

 appreciation than the placing of flowers on 



their graves. And now, more than ever 

 before, we realize what we owe to these 

 patriots. Therefore, let us show this in- 

 creased appreciation by urging upon our 

 fellow countrymen in every walk of life a 

 fuller and more general manifestation of 

 this appreciation. Let us resolve that, 

 "with charity to all and malice toward 

 none," the sun shall not set on an undec- 

 orated grave the evening of May 30th, 

 whether it be that of soldier, sailor, civilian, 

 woman or little child. 



And what of the living heroes, the rap- 

 idly dwindling ranks of our veterans of for- 

 mer wars and the rapidly increasing ranks of 

 our soldiers, sailors and marines of today? 

 Shall we forget them? Let us rather show 

 our appreciation of them while they are 

 yet with us. Let us bend every effort to 

 the end that no veteran nor any man wear- 

 ing a uniform of this country shall be 

 without at least a boutonniere on this 30th 

 day of May.
