The reasons for this increased importance are twofold. In the first place, the ranks of those who have served their country continue to grow in numlier. Secondly, the ideals and principles for which they served are continually expanding in influence and value throughout the free world. The growth in the nuinlter of veterans is not difficult to understand. Many who have served in their younger years have returned to civilian pursuits; younger men have taken their places and they, too, will soon join the large numbers we honor each year. The increase in value and influence of the ideals and principles of freedom which inspire those who have served their country is also easy to grasp. Through their efforts, the number of people throughout the world who are led forward by them is forever growing. To those who have served, we owe a double obligation. We must remember their sacrifices, and we must continue to draw from their example, the courage and inspiration which the future Will demand from us. These things we must do if we are to insure our heritage and freedom. MAJOR GENERAL LELAND C.
