Show MEMORIES What would you take for your memorloif Could dollars buy theV Certainly Cer-tainly not. They are not for sale. No matter what you received for your memories, if you sold them, you would be poor, Indeed. ' 1 It does not matter what rank or station msy be, in every life there is at least one memeory that Is treasured treas-ured as a. priceless Jewel. It Is a priceless jewel because a memeory is the record ot a service. Since the world wr began a greater and greater Insistence has been placed upon the neod and value of servtc. In our own country we have drawn upon the symbolism ot the heavens and marked the service of those who made the supreme sacrifice sac-rifice with a star. World service has called for many forms ot activities acti-vities for, many kinds of sacrifices. Just os the stars differ In magnitude, magni-tude, so has service differed In its magnitude.

If the nation's service flag were ever to be unfurled, every service performed ln the national Intent In-tent would probably b represented there by the shining glory of a single sin-gle star. It Is the acts ot all those who have tterved that constitute the nation's na-tion's service flag. Each act of service is a memory. Each memory is a Jewel. Each Jewel Jew-el Is priceless. The world was never richer t"ian it is now. Only those are really poor who have squander ed their opportunities for service. , j ' It Is a mistake to hold that only those who have fought ln the first f line trendies, or only these to whoa " N. J 'the war has brought personal sorrow j hare deserved representation on the nation's service flag. Every mem" ber of the innuetnrable host .that has ministered to tbe needs of those who have borne the burden upon the batteltle'.d has also served. This frequently obscure ministry Is rich in memories. I Many a man has been a better soldier simply because he remembers remem-bers services perhaps forgotten by thoso who rendered them. The world was never so rich as now, oevtuse never before were there so many priceless memories the memories ot tho services that . flj constitute the nation's completed and I ' all enfolding service flag. , f |
