I.EST WE FORGET
Yesterday the people of America observed their first
wartime Armistice Day.
The first Armistice Day was born in peace. It marked
the end of a war which was to usher in n new era of world
wide peace and plenty, Instead, the world today is plunged
into a war bloodier, more ruthless, more terrifying than in
all history.
Our country lies in the middle of thiH war — not only
geographically—but because she represents, in a very real
sense, what this war is all about. For here in America a
people has been welded out of u unique common denominator.
Not a common backgrund, or religion, or culture, for there
is none among us; but rather a common faith in a democracy
that workH—a common belief in the dignity and integrity of
the individual. That faith is being attacked by the Nazis.
It is being defended, not only by Americans, but by all who
enjoy freedom now or who aspire to it.
Yesterday—Armistice Day, 1942 we paid simple tribute
to those who died in 1917 and 1918. The 90,000 men who
gave up their lives in action, the hundreds of thousands who
were wounded. Was their suffering and their sacrifice in
vain?
America's answer must be clear and resounding. For
year«, most Americans have been cynical about th*- hypocrisy
we read into our determination in the last war to “make
the world safe for democracy" .... to win “the war to end
ull wars." We have somehow assumed that we were sold out,
that the ideas of twenty-four years ago were impractical
and unreal. In so doing we have completely*overlooked the
blatant fact that the world was not made safe for democracy
Is'cause we did not make it so.
We helped win that last war, and, having won it, we
put away our weapons and came home to forget about it.
We did not learn th«* lesson which the Axis powers have now
burned into us with incendiary bombs and torpedoes and
traitorous attacks on a flag of truce. We refused to realize
that America is part of the world. We would not accept
the fact that never can we isolate ourselves from all the other
peoples who ride this planet alongside us.
These were our errors. We have the chance now to
correct the«*' errors. We must pay tribute to the men who
made the final sacrifice the last time, not in mere words,
but in bhiod and sweat. A quarter of a century ago those
men died lighting for Freedom of thought, Freedom of
conscience, Freedom from want and Freedom from fear.
And It Is those very Freedom« we ure fighting for today.
We must dedicate ourselves to those who fell by dedicating
ourselves to those who will conic after us. And we shall Is*
able to do this only by aciepting without question America's
ies|Minsibilitie.s in today's war and in the peace that will
follow.
j
As nights get longer, days get
occasionally grayer, traffic hazards
increase on a post as busy as Camp
Adair. Greater caution on the part
of motorists and pedestrians is
now necessary.
Motorists are reminded that there
is a post speed regulation of 20
miles per hour. This will be strictly
enforced. The military police are
now equipped with motorcycles fol'
patrol and every driver exceeding
this necessary speed limit will be
i
apprehended.
Great care must be exercised by
drivers at all intersections, and
when passing troops. Because there
are few pedestrian walks, the
streets must be used hy persons on
foot as well as vehicles. It should
>»e kept in mind at all times that
the olive drab color is hard to see
at night and pedestrians are thus
in greater danger.
Persons on foot should walk on
the left side of the road, so that
they can observe oncoming cars
and trucks. When walking in a
group, except when in military
formation, it is better to walk in
file rather than abreast.
Cars should have lights inspected
regularly, and brakes should be in
good repair at all times. Wind
shield wipers should be in working
order. Lights should always he
dimmer when meeting other cars.
This post is set up for efficient
training of fighting men. Any ac
cident, traffic or otherwise, hinders
that efficiency. If motorists and
pedestrians observe safety regula
tions and rules, and use good com
mon sense at al) times, the acci
dents will be held to a minimum
and a better job of turning out
fighting men will be accomplished.
