Show J Uni Microfilming Corp Box 2601 Salt Volume Veterans Day is a salute to the silent heroes who defended freedom and now lie with fallen comrades in almost every land. It is day for the living. A day to salute those who served in the endless ranks of patriots, in peace or war, for duty, honor and country. It is a day to remember the rattle of drums, the flag unfurled, the cold, clear notes of bugles calling men to serve. Veterans Day is a day for all Americans every man and woman whose hearts beat with pride and love-- as well as the nearly 28 million men and women who have worn the uniform of their country. A veteran stands for peace, for courage, for faith in America. He stands for peace, because he fought for it; he stands for courage because he stood tall in the face of danger; he stands for faith because he returned in confidence to work, to grow a family, to participate in the affairs of this Republic as a full citizen. He is a man for his nation, a soldier, a sailor, a marine or an airman who, in his particular moment of truth, said, this is my land, my people, my America, and if need be I will die to defend her. He is a patriot, born free in a land of plenty, seeking to right the wrongs he finds, working to better his life and that of his fellow man. He is an American, and he speaks the word with reverence and respect, knowing full well that he walks not in the lock-ste- p of tyranny but with the vigorous stride of a free man who has measured the opportunity that is his and is using it. On a Civil War Memorial in Arlington Cemetery, where annually on Veterans Day the leaders of our Nations assemble in ceremonial respect, there is engraved in weathered stone, these memorable words: Not for fame or reward Not for place or for rank Not lured by ambition Or goaded by necessity But in simple obedience to duty As they understood it These men suffered all Sacrificed all Dared all And died. The words are a tribute to the living, as well, who dared all then, as they do today, in the eternal search for peace with honor. Americans may one day, in the long roll call of generations unborn, awaken to a world in total peace. Until it does, we must maintain our- strength, defend our rights, and fight, if need be, for our freedom. Freedom extracts a price. Our veterans of today and yesterday have paid that price. Those who paid the full price desired and deserved to live as much as any American; those who were disabled de- - Lynette Gasser to perform in Bl'rfhe Spirit Nov. 12-1- 7 Miss Lynette Gasser will play the role Arcarti in the forthcoming production of Blithe Spirit which will be presented at the Payson High School on November 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17.

Nixon delivered his final address of campaign '70. He urged the people of Utah to support him by sending Laurence Burton to the United States Senate. Huge bouquets of mums were placed sporadically over the stage of the tabernacle, complimenting the huge bronze pipes of the famed organ. The Tabernacle Choir sang three appropriate numbers: Your Land is My Land, Battle Hymn of the Republic and God Be With You Till We Meet Again. Following the final choir number. President Nixon added a final tribute to the people of Utah, mentioning the spiritual type of individuals of both political parties whom he works with in Washington D.C. The President specifically praised Senator Wallace F. Bennett, the state's senior senator and Treasury Secretary, David M. Kennedy, who sat near the President along with Rep. Burton, Rep. Sherman Lloyd and Richard Richards. President Joseph Fielding Smith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints and counselor Eldon Tanner were on the podium. President Nixon recalled the issues that he promised to fulfill from that rostrum in 1968 when he stood there: The ending of the Vietnam War, the curbing of inflation and the discontinuance of putting money into programs that were of no use to the American people. He stated that in 1966 there were Clyde A. Swenson had a tremendous lead over Clifford Clark for Nebo School District number two and in Nebo District number 3 it was Ray S. Whiting, Dr. A. Reed Morrill was voted a member of the Utah State Board of Education. 600,000 people on welfare in New York. In just four years there are one and one half million on welfare in New York. That figure will double in just two more years in New York. The give away program must be stopped continued Mr. Nixon, If a man is able to work, is qualified and is offered a job and then refuses then he is not eligible for welfare. He also mentioned the rate that the Vietnam soldiers are being brought home and that a honorable peace is in the making but he as president, having the most responsible position in the world today, cannot keep the promises he made without supporting senate. We have appeased aggression here at home and as with all appeasement the result has been more aggression, more violence, stated the President. The time has come for the great silent majority of Americans of all ages and of every political persuasion to stand up and be counted against appeasement of the rock throwers and obsenity shouters. A person carrying a sign with Peace written on it in one hand and a bomb or a brick to throw in the other hand is the worst type of hypocrite. President Nixon left the tabernacle following his address for his home in California where he will rest following his hectic campaign run, covering many of the major cities of the country in the past 30 days. a |
