Show PROCLAMATION WHEREAS those millions of Americans, whose lives were only remotely affected by the recent 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 be repaid, and WHEREAS the American Legion Auxiliary and Veterans of Foreign Wars are again conducting a fund raising program which will allow us, by the simple act of purchasing a poppy, the opportunity to express a feeling of thankfulness to the members whose wounds 1 have not yet healed, and WHEREAS there can be no simpler way to express ex-press our thanks than to contribute to a fund which shall be used to make 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 of our city to participate by buying a poppy and wearing it in honor of those to whom we owe so much. |
