Veterans On

Their Records
DUBLIN - Pete Wheeler, State
Chairman of the 1968 Veterans
Day observance in Georgia deliv
ered the principle address today
(Monday) during Veterans Day
ceremonies sponsored by the
Dublin-Laurens County Veterans
Council at the Dublin VA Center,
saying, ‘“As a result of the sac
rifices of veterans, America is
still a free country,”’
Mr, Wheeler said, ‘‘Veterans
Day 1968 is a time to pause and
remember, It is a day to pay
homage and respect to men and
women who have served our na
tion in time of peril,
This is the fifieth year of ana
tional observance in honor of
veterans, On this day itis fitting
that each American reflect onthe
principles which 26 million living
veterans defended,
Many were called; many suf
fered shock and pain of battle,
some of them being disabled for
life; many made the supreme
sacrifice and millions gave some
of the best years of their lives,
Why did they do it? Simply be
cause there was a job to be done
and they were the ones called
upon to do it, What was the re=-
sult of their sacrifices? Simply
this: America remained a free
country!”
“‘Our troops are now in Viet
nam,” he said, ‘‘and our obser=
vance here may see far awaybut
there is a message for themaswe
gather, By our presence here
we acknowledge their brave
deeds.
