rmidfice ay AMERICAN LEGION PRIZE ESSAY On November 11, 1918, an armistice was signed by the great nations, bringing to a close the long and heartbreaking World WVar I. There was con- siderable amount of joy among us-the American people. There were tears shed by the more unfortunate who would not be able to see our loved ones return. But this was yet a temporary peace. For soon after came World War II, which threw our peace-living nation into a war as chaotic as the Hrst. America stood behind its servicemen. The defence plants never were short of help, women joined the services to aid their country, and everyone boosted the morale of these men with letters of encouragement from home. This war came to an end also, and the United States emerged Victorious. With the outbreak of the Korean War, Americans repeated their war efforts, and this war ended with a truce. Yes, America is, in essence, a peace-loving nation, but a nation that is willing to sacrifice all for the rights of men over state, of God over men. Let us then look upon Armistice Day as a day of thanksgiving, a day of humble prayer, that we dwell in a land that has proved time and again that it is willing to fight for human equality so that some day this world will contain an everlasting peace and brotherhood of nations.
