Powerful DDndabIa r f aninaiai HANSEN HARDWARE Communications Deplores Armistice Day Parade To the editor: As an American soldier of the regular army and a World war veteran with 28 months of service "over there" In the World war, I want to say that I think that our Armistice day parade of Nov. 11, 1941, was the poorest set up of any I have ever witnessed. I am a member of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars and also the Disabled American Veter ans of the World War. and back east where I came from we always took the lead in all mili tary parades. But In our Arm istice day parade November 11 here In Medford we had to fall in behind everything else, which don t think is right for an American soldier who has given his all for his country and is still willing to give what he has left. Now when it comes to Old Glory our American colors rep resent freedom and liberty forever that rates respect by all Americans. But that Is some thing the people of the west don't seem to realize. When the American colors are passing down the street unfurled the public should stand at attention with hats off or at a salute. That Is the way soldiers are trained, which I believe Is right. But as the world grows older the public seems to have less respect for our wonderful flag of the U.S.A., the Stars and Stripes forever, which all real American soldiers have fought for and are still willing to fight to the death for if called upon to do so. Now dear comrades and friends, I have taken part in every Armistice day celebration since the World war of 1917- 1918 and I expect to take part in all the rest of them as long as I live. But dear people of the public, please get that pat riotic feeling on national holt days, especially and pay due re spect to the national colors which represent everything that America stands for, life, liberty and freedom forever.
