- they made great team. The dentist

chaplain prayed that the dentist was doing

D-DAY. We have been flooded with in
quiries about what the ID" in D-Day stands
for and how the term started in the first
place. So We started sleuthing. came up with
these facts: The ID" doesn mean anything
dramatic like Deliverance or Destiny, is
simply an arbitrary letter meaning nothing
more than Day. The term D-Day was used
little in the last war, but the expression
Zero Hour. of British origin. was much more
common. 1t wasn't until this war that the
American term - meaning, of course, The
Day Of The Invasion - was popularized.

After college l saw Jim only once or
twice. In a few years World War l put
all of the young men my age into uniform.
l was at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. when |
heard about Jim. saw the headline in
hometown paper: Three Sheret Brothers
Fall In Action" The story told how Ser
geant James Sheret and Private Egbert
C. Sheret we're killed and another brother
injured when the lO8th Infantry tore the
first gap in the Hindenburg Line.
l heard later that Jim's mother had
been given the Distinguished Service
Cross he had won for exceptional brav-
cry in several singlehanded attacks on
enemy positions.
WELL, that is all the story of Jim Sheret
or nearly all There was Union Memo
rial Service for him and his brother Egbert.
Bert Griswold played the organ and three
of the town girls sang vocal trio" The
Albion American Legion Post was named
after Jim and Egbert, and after the war
General Pershing said Jims courageous
act was one of the hundred most heroic
deeds of the war 1t seemed strange that
Jim, who was such quiet, friendly, nice
boy should have turned out to be such
brave, fierce soldier That is, it seemed
strange to everybody except boys who
grew up with him and knew that he
did every job he ever had as we'll as
he knew how.
Now, Albion was just canal town and
Jim was the kind of boy it produced. He
was fighting in the same cause that the
whole country is fighting for now. We
failed Jim after the last war ended. This
time we intend to see that it ,sere1 happens
again.
Other boys from the canal towns are
in the armed forces now A lot of boys like
Jim have gone from Albion. Chaplain
Johnnie Dugan has lost his life and 50 has
Sergeant Arnold Hazelbaker. Bill Eddys
son. Bill Junior. is reported missing in
action"
We who are too old to 60. know what
our job is. We owe lot to Jim Sheret and
all the rest of the boys who gave their
lives in the First World War. We owe lot
to the boys who are carrying on their bat
tie today. We haven't got enough money
in our banks to pay that debt But because
we are grateful for the chance to live the
