MEMORIAL DAY continued from pageone
N.Y on May 5, 1866. It be-
came a federal holiday in
1971, he said.
"This is a day of re-
membrance;' the Navy
veteran said. "We remem-
ber those brave men who
stood shoulder to shoul-
der on the greens of Con-
cord and fired the 'shots
heard around the world'
and whose sacrifice set
in motion the very strug-
gle for what became the
United States. We re-
member those heroes
who struggled to become
an army in the crucible of
Valley Forge. We remem-
ber the fallen of every
conflict since the birth of
our nation.
"The devastation
of the Civil War, where
brother fought brother,
left casualties on a scale
that had never been seen
on U.S. soil - before or
since. Every hamlet, vil-
lage and city would be
touched by it, and every
year the people turned
out to decorate the graves
of those who had died in
that conflict. Now, as is
fitting, we also remember
the Doughboys of World
War I who went abroad
and helped save Europe
from annihilation.
"World War II brought
forth conflict across the
entire globe and once
again our men and wom-
en answered the call to
defend this nation. Korea,
