great patriots of his day; and SO
speak the members of the American
Legion-that great organization of
service men who are held together
among other reasons, Ito preserve
the memories and incidents of our
association in the great war; as
stated in the Preamble to its Ma
tional Constitution.
There is such an appeal to the
life in the service, to the cause for
which such service was given, and
to the general spirit of war times,
that it is only natural that the
former service men should feel the
need of some organization to take
the place of the old outfit. Not
only that, but having done his bit,
he feels more of a proprietary in
terest in his country than he did
before the war, and looks to the
American Legion as a means, ito
foster and perpetuate one hun
dred precent Americanism.
Some civilians may not quite I'M
derstand it, but it is a fact never
theless, that regardless of where a
man may have served his country
in time of war, whether in
training camp or naval vessel,
whether ashore, afloat or in the
air, whether in sham battle prac-
tice or in the hell of actual fight
ing, each service man cherishes the
memories of his own experiences.
1t was for this reason, among
others equally as important, that
the American Legion was formed
in 1919, and it was for the same
reasons that it has carried on, For
God and Country for the past
quarter of century.
1t is because of what it has done
in the past and of what it is doing
now-not only for its own men,
bers, but for all service men regard
less of their membership status
and not only for the service men
of the first warld war, but also
and more especially for the service
men of this, the second world war,
that this great organization of

Ever since the infamous attack
on Pearl Harbor, the women OF
America have been beset with I'M
certainties and worries and have
had to shoulder responsibilities
which in normal times they would
not be expected to assume.
In the American Legion Auxil-
iary however, there has been no
uncertainty about the duties and
responsibilities of it's m m b e S.
They have not inly continued to
carry out the program of their fine
organization, but everywhere are
found taking part in and doing a
large share of the war work of the
communities in which they live.
We have put forth splendid eff
fort and have obtained splendid re-
suits; but it appears to me that our
efforts in the past will sink into
insignificance as we face the ire
mendous and staggering challenge
of the immediate future.
1t is our special duty and re-
spopsibility to see to it that the
children of veterans who are in
need of assistance because of
death, disability or unemployment
of their father, receive the care,
training and protection which their
birthright entities them to. We
must see to it that these children
have normal, healthy atmos-
phere in which to develop and grow

ity with other children. There are
likely to be many thousands of

task Of supervision will require our
utmost efforts.
But we are the wives, daughters
and sisters of fighting men. We
are the mothers of those stalwart

democracy's battles on land, in the
air and on the high seas. With
their love in our hearts and their
sacrifices before us we, too, will
rise to heights unknown; we, too,
will do the seemingly impossible
and accomplish whatever tasks are
set before us.
I nave noticed that when all the
fine things of this material world
are in danger of being taken
away from us and we get down to
the realities of life, we find that
possibly the only thing that really
counts in a world where destruc-
ton is tn eorder of the day, is the
ceaseless and everlasting quality OF
human friendship and human
kindness; and these to me have
been plainly evidenced in the

spirit of the Auxiliary is not a

With that spirit, with the ideals
and principles of our great organ

our fighting men to inspire us, we
may safely look to the future with
confidence.
