Father Dade prefaced his re-
marks preceding the presentation
OF the colors to Michigan's colored
troopers with the statement that II
was fitting that st. Cyprian church
was selected for the scene OF the
presentation since the first meeting
and many preceding eHes-had been
held in Page Hall adjacent TO the
church where plans were made for
the formation OF what is now Mill
tary Unit No. lis, Michigan Home
Guards.
Commander Oscar Smith of the
Charles Young Post in his remarks
preceding presentation said that:
Long before the Flag had become
symholical of a United Nation, that
the Negro had fought for the very
things he is so eager TO fight for
now; that the pattern then Is not
diferent from that of the present
in that colored men have strangely
and tragically. not only had to
fight for the privilege 10 die in de-
Tense of his country but he also
must fight TO live in a country that
means so much TO him but grants
so little in return when the many
sacrifices they have made not only
in this country's defense in all its
wars but in its upbuilding as one
Of the greatest nations in the
world"
Concluding his address. he stated
that he considered II a privilege
and an honor to have been selected
to make this presentation OF colors
to Military Unit No. lis: that the
Charles Young Post OF which he IS
commander were proud 10 be the
American Legion Post TO share in
these ceremonies for the members
OF this particular Home Guard unit
were more than mere men gathered
together into n military unit but
having shown the highest degree
OF manhood under the most humil-
iating and demoralizing circum-
htduttt lHtv were eulllltu 10 eN-
cry honor. the post or community
might bestow upon them.
Commander Smith then present
ed the colors TO Councilman Ed
wards. who. in a brief and appro-
pirate speech in turn proffered
the colors to Captain Howard who
accepted them in the name OF the
unit he commanded.
The services which Immediately
followed the presentation were held
