THANKS, FELLOWS

One of the greatest hOnors Of our
life was conferred upon us last night,
when we were permitted TO sit with
the members of the American Legion
in a banquet.
We will go further and say the
greatest honor, for in our mind the
American Legion ranks higher than
all with the exception of the Grand
Army Of the Republic Of which it is
the equal.
We would be unappreciative, in
to meet with the fellows who, when
the country needed men, offered
themselves in it's defense; and we feel
that we owe them our thanks for that
honor.
Money cannot buy membership in
the American Legion. Social stand
ing counts for naught. 1t is an or
ganization of men who earned the
right to membership by leaving their
homes and loved ones, enduring the
hardships and suffering incident to
army life, and finally going to the
front line trenches to offer their
lives that tyrant foe might be
crushed and civilization be main
tanned.
No organization on earth ever re-
quired so much from those who
would take membership, and it is
this that makes us feel so highly hon
ored in being invited to be one OF
them for an evening.
And as we noted that little Legion
button upon the coat lapels we could
not help but think what it will mean
to those privileged to wear it ten
twenty, fifty years from now. While
the organization is young it already
has standing second to none, and as
the years pass it will grow in nun.
bers and importance and influence
until all the world will hold it in sac
red honor.
Men would give millions today for
the privilege of wearing that badge
of honor, yet there are men entitled
to wear it who have not availed them
selves of that opportunity. Why this
is true we cannot imagine, but we
feel sure that if every service man in
Seward county could have been in
that banquet hall they never would
rest until they had signed the roll
There is no reason on earth why
every service man should not wear
it; there is every reason why he
should, and we hope that if this meets
the eye of such a one, he will not de-
lay in getting into this organization
"a privilege coveted by many, but
only available to those who by then
sacrifice have the right to member.
