Show PROCLAMATION WHEREAS those millions of Americans, whose lives were only remotely affected by the recent re-cent war, whose democratic form of government was preserved by the actions of the relatively few who were serving in the armed forces, owe a debt of gratitude to those who served which can never ne-ver be repaid, and WHEREAS the American Legion Le-gion Auxiliary are again conducting conduct-ing a fund raising program which i will allow us, by the simple act j of purchasing a poppy, the op-1 portunity to express a feeling of! thankfulness to the members j whose wounds have not yet healed, and WHEREAS there can be no simpler way to express our I thanks than to contribute to a fund which shall be used to make i the lives of those convalescents a little brighter; Now, therefore, I, Ralph A. Murano, mayor of the City of Bingham Canyon, do hereby proclaim May 24 and 25 to be Poppy Days, and urge all residents resi-dents of our city-to participate by buying a poppy and wearing it in honor of those to whom we owe so much.
