Pay Honor To
Soldier Heroes of

ArmiStice services were field at

died in World War |, at the lBoule-
ward Monument, November IL at II

GOODNESS. just a small crowd turned
out although the schools were rep
resented 100 per cent
The prayer was given by Chaplain
Vernon Crotteau. Commander Will
liam Nelson introduced Ray VOL
laston as the speaker of the occa-
sion.
Wollaston's address reminds us
that although we are again fighting
for our freedom and have our he
ros of today those heroes of yester-
year must not be forgotten, or must
we forget that they made it posi-
Bile for Us to possess the freedom we
fight for now. His address follows:
twenty-five years ago today,
Nov. II, 1918, World War | came
to an end and Johnnie came march
ing home again. said Mr.. Wollas-
ton. But there were lots of John
MES that never come marching
home. Some of them lie today in
France. the same France they helped
to free in 1918; the same France
that was the victor then and the
the conquered now.
Today. throughout the world, men
are fighting and dying that we may
be free. They gave, and are giving,
SO much. the most precious thing in
life. life itself. Whatever sacrifice we
make can never match theirs. So
do all that you can, whenever you
can. TO help us to victory. And when
the victory is ours, as it surely
viii be. | hope and pray for a just
and lasting peace
A war to end wars will never
be won until a war to end selfish
ness and greed has been fought.
Man throughout the world must
find within his own heart, compass
sion and understanding for his fell
low man
We of the American Legion, are
deeply grateful for your attendance
here today. We hope you will al
ways remember November II and
our fallen comrades of World War
l. They died that you and | might
live. even as they are dying today.
To US. they have not died in vain.
We will never forget them and will
ALWAYS cherish their memory, and
we ask you to remember them too.
Wollaston concluded his speech
with the poem. "A Sergeant's
