In city squares and on village. greens throughout
the land, there stand the Rolls of Honor.
They bear the names of those who served in one
or both great wars that peace again might live
and freedom endure.
Will new names an even longer list someday
be added in another war Xour name? The names
of your children?
A lot depends on the strength of our determina
tionand the strength of our Armed Forces. For
only a strong America can stand firm against
aggression, can command the respect and attention
its plea for peace deserves.
Our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast
Guardsmen must be the best alert, efficient, ex
pertly trained. They must be equipped with the very
latest in scientific advancement. Above all, they
need the wholehearted support of every loyal
American to maintain the strength authorized by
Congress.
On this our thirtieth Armistice Day, we would do
well to remember not only those who sustained us
in war, but those who now stand between us and the
threat of attack. V
Last tirne we forgot. Arid in our forgetfulness, we
allowed our Armed Forces to grow weak. In our
weakness, we could only hope. We cannot we must
not repeat that tragic mistake.
On this day of memory, let every one of us resolve
that America shall stay strong.
