To each generation in our United States comes the duty of perpetuating its outward forms and ceremonies. To those who have gone into battle for America, and have laid at rest their comrades fallen so that America shall stand, this duty is peculiarly sacred. From the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, now almost all resting under the crosses of honored glory; from the thinning but still vigilant ranks of the United Spanish War Veterans, this special obligation has passed in large measure to The | American Legion.

The soil where we laid your tired body when your task was done is sacred ground, American ground, and America side by side with all men who love liberty and justice will re- deem it.’ “There are other and newer graves very close to our hearts on this- Memorial Day.

From the jungles of New Guinea the sands of the Sa- hara, to the fog-drenched Aleutians, they are carrying our banner, in many lands, on many oceans, and through many skies. And there, washed by our tears, some of these gallant sons of freedom already rest beneath white crosses.

In doing so we may very well dedicate our- selves to more than the remem- brance of sacrifice and glory. The task is not yet done, but only in the doing.
