Armistice Day Message
BY JOHN R. QUINN
National Commander, American Legion
Written Especially for The Times-Recorder find NEA Service.
tIVE YEARS ago the war ended—officially? However, it has not'
* really ended, nor can it end until the principles for which our
soldiers fought have been fulfilled to the utmost.
It is fitting that on this day we should re-ded
iciite ourselves to “carrying on” by solemn decla
ration within our own conscience. To do your part
today in this re-pledging to principle, pause for a
moment and recall th e principles for whch our men
went willingly to the chancX of death—many to
’die L i
You remember the phrasj on their lips and in
their hearts: "A war tj> end war.’* Yet wars are
not ended. They went beyond the seas into a hell
of death and destruction that their sons and daugh
ters and the ions and daughters of their brothers
might be spared a like horror in time to come. Yet
today there is no guaranty, no certainty that an
other war will not be forced upon this nation, or -
any naton at some fuure time.
’<
I
jl
I
OITTNN The Legion pledged itself at its last annual
convention to strive unceasingly for peace. This does not mean that
joined the ranks of those so-called pacifists of war- me
memory. Far from it. As long as conditions may make war neces
sary to protect our nation from aggression or oppression, we stand
readv, nay anxious, to answer the call to arms But to-
ward an era when our nation—all nations, may live and fulfill their
destinies without injustice, oppression or tne necessity to protect
from such by force.
The American Legion pledged itself to no one plan to end war.
Neither does it ask you to do so. It is a question upon which opin
ions differ; each must act according to his behet -
But we do ask that you, upon this Armistice Day, take solemn
resolve that you will leave no act undone or word unsaid that may ,
advance, even iq, the smallest degree, the era of perpetual peace
You may not have the opportunity of speaking from a platform, but
this does not exccse you. If you have on e “neighbor, one friend,,
whom you can convert to the cause of peace and fail to do so, then
you have not kept faith with those who “sleep in Handers I' lelds.
There is an organization, international, of fighting men of the
allied armies. This organization has declared that, once brother* in
arm* they are todav brothers in peace. Nearly every nation which
stood side by side in the World War is represented. Here is a nu
cleus But the nucleus is not sufficient in itself. It requires the <
active help of world opinion. When the .demand for perpetual peace
i= made THE business, THE most Urgent demand of «very man,
woman and child, then will lasting peace tome.
I ask that NOW you solemnly enlist in this greatest cause oi
all time, the ending of war, Thus, and thus only, can you keep
faith with those who kept faith with you in the time of your greatest
need. '*

reaching event in history, past or
present.
“The purpose of, the American
Legion is to perpetuate the memory
of the boys who gave their lives for
the perpetuation of peace, and to
show the power of right over might.
He said that might had long ruled
the world, until it was put down by
the courage and heroism of those
who fought not for gain but for
principle.”

tentive appreciation Os one of the
gi-eatest talks ever made in the
