AMERICAN CEMETERY IN THE PACIFIC (Photo by Walter M. Lambert) Appropriate thoughts for this Memorial Day are not easily pieced together. It’s a nervous, restless world in this year of 1948. Events since World War II ended have come swiftly and achieving peace in the world is still a challenge to all nations and peoples of the earth. There’s no more appropriate day for us to lift a prayer for . peace than on Memorial Day. Our thoughts go back to handsome, young men as they went off to fight for freedom and it brings sadness to our hearts as we think of those who did not return. Memorial Day, 1948, will be observed most fittingly here at Ecusta as we unveil a beautiful memorial at Camp Sapphire in honor of our fellow employees who made the supreme sacrifice in the last great war. We can think of no better way for you to commemorate this day than to be present for the service honoring our Ecusta heroes. It will show their families that we have not for gotten the price these gallant men paid that we might still live as free men. 1
