I The jMemoiial Pay privilege of p-iying tiilinle to lli
nation's heioic dead has been tiansferied hugely fl'uin tit
I'ged veterans of the Civil war lo the more youthful par
ticipants in the World war. And it seems proper that th:;
sacred privilege and duly should devolve upon this youth
ef the land rather than Ihe older people, for it was the
valiant young men (if the countiy who made the nation
possible, who saved the tnicm, mid who desl roved Ilk
tliieat of Piussian despotism, even though it was the youth
0!' succeeding geaei at ions.
The tribute we pay today to the roldier dead of 'ill
wars can be mme leverent and more sacred because we
can l-L'tler visualize in the young men of the World war
the saciifices the youth of T.l and '".is offered for love
of flag anil coiiuliy. as did those who wore the olive drab
in '17 and 'IS. Ily being thus reminded of their youtli
i nd si length and manhood we can belter appieeiale the
r.ifl to us and In posteiity of tho.e who lie in soldiers'
graves. The aimies of which they weie a part, no matter
hat the cause or when or where the conflict, were com
posed Vf the flower of the n ".lion's youth. So it is honor
to valor and saciifices of youth that we pay today and i'.
Is filling that men and women of like ages in all the yean
to come shall carry on the beau, i fill custom oiiginated by
tht survivors of the Civil war a custom (hat both honoi i
the memory of thoae who served and at the same time
nays ti Unite to the youth of the present and the future
'hat is the nation's icliance, in war or in peace, for piog
r'.sK and accomplishment.
One of our duties on this day, therefore, should be In
lil'ilje ouiselves to inculcate in the minds of future youlh
Hie spiiit of gratitude and loyalty that shall insure th'
durability of tho ideals for which our soldier dead strived'
not in vain. If we fail in this, we dishonor ourselves au
break faith with them.
