Malheur County, Oregon 97913 Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Trans mission through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879. Printed below is the talk given by Father Charles R. Young at the Memorial Day ceremony at Nyssa Cemetery. We stand here overlooking one of the beautiful valleys in the land of Freedom. We could be on that hill where Abigail Adams watched the battle of Bunker Hill, or looking into the suffering of Valley Forge. Our valley reflects the determination and foresight of the pioneers, the builders of this great land. Here we gather to honor those who died to preserve what we enjoy. This place consecrated by those who have been laid here in honor, becomes for us a bridge to the deeds, valor, and values of those who have passed on to us our heri tage. This heritage of freedom, trust in God, and loyalty to God, County, and family has exacted the lives of many. We are proud to be part of this heritage, and to continue honoring these places that bridge us to the past as we throw up ramparts to the future. To all who are buried here, and throughout our land we utter a prayer of thanksgiving for what we have inherited. We pray that we might be worthy of the greatness they have handed to us, being not overly proud in ourselves, but humble and hard working and proud of what they have given us. As the echo of the rifles gradually reverberates and looses itself may we ask that the lessons learned from those who have gone ahead of us their valor, their values, and faith may constantly reverberate in our lives. Our nation is and has been a God fearing nation. We honor our dead since they lived not just for the present, but for values that surpassed the present. They tried to forge a nation of spiritual God fearing peoples by themselves being the anvils upon which heights of virtue would be forged for others to imitate. These men and women whom we honor, we would be untrue to say, did not have their human failings and shortcomings, but they would have been the first to admit this. Though they struggled with the determination of having all the answers and goals, they would have been the first to listen and evaluate new approaches. From you men and women of Freedom who have gone before, may we learn that the strength of our nation comes from spiritual values. The alloy of divergent thought, cultures, and philo sophies hammered into one up upon anvil of free speech in a free nation is the metal which will stand long and stainless as the metal of selfishness and pettiness rusts and falls to the ground. We thank you for challenging us to these heights, and we pray to God that we may live up to the heritage you have handed us.
