Show I EDITORIAL Town talk by Bishop David R. Brown More than one million men and women have lost their lives fighting for freedom in the U.S. armed forces. We can never reimburse the price they paid. We can summon no words to allay the pain of their loved ones. We can and we should, honor Americas war dead on Memorial Day. We, as beneficiaries of Americas departed heroes, should make three pledges on Memorial Day to ensure that the Supreme Sacrifice of our nations war dead never will be in vain. The first pledge we should make is to fly the U.S. Flag and to participate in our communitys commemorative events. Americas patriots shed their blood in the defense of our nations core values of freedom, justice and equality as well as the U.S. Flag that symbolizes our values. Memorial Day should unify all Americans in solemn tribute to those who did not come marching home and to consecrate the principles for which they fought. The second pledge we should make is to teach our children and grandchildren that the freedoms they may take for granted were purchased by incredible sacrifice. When we lead by example, by bringing our children and grandchildren with us to Memorial Day public observations, we teach the leaders of tomorrow that freedom is not free. The third pledge is to participate in our democracy in order to the best opportunity to triumph against evil. patriots-presetroops form the light of hope that pierces the darkness of Igive but that light is growing dim due to inadequate military spending and foolhardy defense policy. Safeguarding the bounty of one million war dead is a military that is smarting from a 300 percent increase in deployments and a one-thir- d decrease in active-dut- y strength since 1987. This is a tax dollars, as a percentage of gross military receiving fewer .'domestic product, than the military that suffered the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941. We must act as if Memorial Day 2000 is Dec. 6, 1941; as if "We the People" have an opportunity to deter aggression, save lives and give our men and women in uniform a righting chance. We jmust demand that our congressional representatives and our president reverse the declining readiness of the armed forces. Our faxes and letters to Congress and to the 'telephone calls, j'White House can reverse the neglect that erodes our military, threatens national security and endangers the values for which Americans gave their lives. These contemporary pledges flow from the earliest traditions of Memorial Day. Southern women in the spring of 1865 planted flowers on the graves of Confederate war dead. Gen. John Logan, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, an J organization of union veterans, ordered his group to decorate the graves of Union troops on a uniform date in 1868. These and other commemorations would give rise to the first national Memorial Day observance on May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery. Gen. James Garfield, keynote speaker for the observance, said ' those who lost their lives righting for freedom engaged in the ultimate expression of humanitys "highest virtues." The general was right! More than one million men and women, preponderantly of modest means and infinite courage, sacrificed all of their tomorrows while fighting for Americas unifying "virtues. Surely we can honor their sacrifice, transmit values for which they fought and preserve the "common defense that is libertys backbone. By our vigilance, the sacrifices of Americas departed heroes shall never be in vain. nt . member American Legion, the nations largest veterans organization.)
