They served gallantly in the natiuns defense, and of their numbers some were called upon to lay down their lives in that service. The memory of their patriotic sacrifice Should always be held dear by the citizens of Payson. Others of these brave young men were called upon to sacrifice, not life, but the health and strength which makes life worth while. Their families and the families of the dead also were required to make heavy sacrifices. These disabled and dependents are still paying the human price of our nations World War victory. From the battle front in France returning soldiers brought the poppy as the symbol of sacrifice and the memorial flower of the dead.
