1967, marks the 50th year
since the United States of
America entered World War
I against Germany. World
War I Veterans will com
memorate this occasion, the

monies will be held at noon

firmities of age and ravages
of time, now pause in sober
reflection, justly alarmed at
the general loss of respect
for ideals for which they
sacrificied health and for
tune and which their bud
dies died.
History reveals that World
War I was one of the U. S.
wars fought by inspired sol
diers when they were young.
And even the dissenters must
admit—that they faced ma
chine guns without armor,
and that poison gas was a
reality, not a withheld hor
ror. There was no PX, no
troop rotation, no free tobac
co, no special clothing, no
sulpha powder, no blood
transfusions, no air mail
and no transportation back
home.
And when they got home
they scratched for jobs with
no Government assistance,
and then lost said jobs dur
ing the great depression.
They fought back against
economic adversity with the
same stubborness with which
they won the first World
War, which was then her
alded as “Saving the World
for Democracy.”
But today they are ac
cused of being out of step

because they don’t under
stand the new ways of their
nation, which delivered Ber
lin to their enemies and
wheat to our adversaries, or
the Korean “police action”
which their country was
afraid to win and ashamed
to lose. Neither do they un
derstand the “Cold War” or
little wars that harass the
nation in remote parts of
the world—meaningless and
apparently endless.
We do understand and
fear federal control philoso
phies of “bureaucratic dicta
tors,” "socialistic welfare,”
and “new frontiers.” They
have been deeply implanted
In our educational system
and the teaching and mean
ing of Americanism has been
pushed aside, resulting in
younger generations learn
ing more about “Commu
nism” and “Socialistic Wel
fare” than about things that
made America great.
Left over from World War
I the old timers are out
numbered, outvoted, and out
moded by laws and customs.
The World War I veterans
can still be of service to the
nation by promoting the
teaching of true American
ism in our schools and en
listing the aid of all mature
citizens to work to uphold
the principles that made
America a nation of people
who were proud of their
