Endorsements of all kinds, from in
dividuals and organizations of various
purposes, are flooding the association
offices, indicating that sentiment ev-
erywhere is strongly in favor OF hon
oring the Idaho hero dead as they
served-as one. The following COM
munication to Director Davis, from
James A. Drain, recently elected ma
tional Legion commander, is typical:
"My own view has always been that
the most fortunate death man can
have is that which comes to him as
soldier of his country, fighting for
what he believes right. And this ap-
plies to every individual, woman or
man, whether the death came in ac-
tual combat or in camp, in this coun-
try or overseas.
1--WE do not need to raise a memoir
ial to our dead that we may remem-
Der them. We cary their memory
in our hearts and can never forget
them. A memorial rather expresses
for me our pride in our heroic dead
an announcement to the world in I'M
terms of our joy in their
glory and our happiness in their high
estate.
