This Memorial Day
Overseas our flag is spat upon and trampled upon. American
citizens are killed in far-ojff places; others are taken prisoner,
never to be heard from again. Meanwhile, we at home are hving
off the fat of our American heritage; we placate our enemies,
trade with them, and hand-shake with them. The great tradition
of acknowledging the Divine Guidance has been struck from
public places, and soon from public affairs, in the name of free-dom
which approves of obscenities, vileness and corruption in
public life, theatre and literature. Our flag, barely two centuries
old, is secondary to the one-worldism, espoused only by United
States citizens. For with all other nations—allies or enemies—their
flags come first.
Trembling and fearful, we exist in what is termed "peace."
We exist ingloriously at the pleasure of our enemies only be-cause
the two great and respected Communist nations are, for-tunately
for ourselves, like two gangsters at each other's throats,
fighting over the spoils which they know will be theirs. We are
creatures of comfort and dissipation in the throes of a maniacal
obsession with sex—in all its aspects except tliose purposes for
which the Divine Cuidance intended.
We appear in the eyes of the world as an expensive pros-titute
fought over by two patrons, neither of which she loves,
but either of which she is willing to grant hpr favors merely to
exist.In payment she receives what is called "peace and freedom."
This situation must certainly make us ashamed of ourselves
on this Memorial Day. Can we truly face our war dead knowing
that they gave their lives for much greater things?
Let's return to basics in our national and international life.
Let's think hard about what we know is right and wrong. Let's
remember that at one time we would not ask a fellow citizen to
risk his life, freedom and family security without recognizing
that we too must risk our life, freedom and family security as
well.
What right do we have to expect that one fellow American
should give his life in Korea, Vietnam, the Congo or anywhere
else for his country while we sit idly by, spending away our
American heritage.—fearful of taking our enemies to task abroad.
It is our hope on this Memorial Day that our readers will
fly the American Flag as a symbol of God and Freedom, the
Peace that will follow will be worthy of our courageous war
dead.
