Brower it 70 Qalcf Slain Slucfenii of 7'1-auf School To the North, the South, the East, the West, you went forth to continue your patriotic service, but to continue it under more dangerous circumstances than you had ever performed it before. And out there, somewhere, you were finally called upon to render your highest service - the laying down of your life. We are indeed reminded here of Him who said, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. We, the living, pledge to you, the dead, that you shall not have died in vain. Honor compels us to safeguard the freedoms and privileges for which you gave your all. We pledge you to keep these blessed privileges intact for your families and for ours. Today we stand reverently and humbly before you. Wherever and however you gave your life - on land, on sea, under the sea, or in the air - we salute you! You have not died in vain. And may the blessed truth of our risen Lord bring to your loved ones and to us a hastening of the day when all people shall give glory to God, when peace shall prevail on all the earth, and when good will shall reign among all men. 444444-4444444444444 'Ir ll' It It It ll' It It It It It It It It 4
