Commanderin Chief W. G. Veazey has issued an
eloquent order for the annual observance Of Memorial
Day. May 80, in which he says. Again the warm
spring reminds that Memorial Day with its time
honored observance Is at hand. Regulations are
so explicit upon this subject that no formal order
urging this sacred duty upon the posts is necessary
For the twenty-third time since the 30th OF May
was designated for this purpoe by Comlade Logan
then Commander-n Chief il is our privilege to render
special homage 10 the memory OF our comrades VINO
answer to rollcal on earth more, to pledge our
selves anew in united and solemn chorus to the great
principles for which they died. and for the erpeuation
OF which this mighty order is now maintained. Let
no grave be unvisted comrade forgotten and as our
children and chldTen's children shall ask What mean
ye by this servce9" let point them to the sacrifices
Of our comrades whom death has mustered out forever
gnd whose devotion 10 duty made possible this golden
ira Nation, which to-day, under one flag, is
marching TO its glorious destiny future assured
to this and the coming generations by the conflicts ana
victories of tho period which this day recalls and
signalzes. Standing by these sacred mounds, let us
urge that Never, while the flowers shall wake to life;
while the released waters shall course from the noun
tans 10 the sea while the emancpated earth shall,
with returning spring its banners of green
shall these memorial services be unperormed, or the
achievements they celebrate be forgotten Let the day be
in diverted from its true purpose, but let
II made teach to the fullest extent its great lesson
OF patriotism.
POST Commanders are reminded that thtr arrange
ments for Memorial Day should invariably include
attendance by the post in body upon some form OF
divine worship upon the preceding Sunday. Ills Gus
tom has become deservedly So very general, and
its appropriateness and deSrabty are apparent Some
minister Of the Gospel should be invited to deliver
suitable sermon upon this occasion, and posts should if
practicable appear in uniform and display their badges
and coOrs striving in every way to render TINS htng
pelimnary to our great annual Observance.
In some departments the custom prevails Of having
the school children cooperate, the session OF school
preceding Memorial Day being devoted to patriotic
teachings emphasized by the presence at each school
of some comrade Of the order and the children asked
TO share In pcovding flowers for the following day, and
assured that in so doing they become directly identified
with the praiseworthy service of Memorial Day, 1t Is
recommended that post commanders, far as posi-
bic, detail comrades who in Uniform may appear befoVe
each school and briefly suggest action as above
