C. 28697 Telephone: 919-667-7136 X^ietnam 'Veterans Xj\)zzk, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A ProclamitioR We are a peace-seeking Nation and we are ai peace, but »e must not forget the lessons war has taught us. nor the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for us in all our wars. The decade now drawing to a close began in the midst of a war that was the longest and most ex pensive in our'history. and most costly in human lives and suffering. Because it was a divisive and painful period for all Ame. icans, we are tempted to want to put the Vietnam war out of our minds. But it is important that wc remember—honestly, realistically, with humility. It is important, too, tiiat we remember those who answered their Nation’s call in that war with the full measure of their valor and loyalty, that we pay full tribute at last to all Americans who served in our Armed Forces in Southeast Asia. Their courage and sacrifices m that tragic conflia were made doubly difficult by t)ie Nation’s lack of agreement as to what constituted the highest duty. In stead of glory, they were too often met with our embarrassment or ignored when they returned. The honor of those who died there is not tarnished by our uncertainty at the moment of their sacrifice. To them we offer our respect and gratitude. To the loved ones they left behind, we offer our concern and understanding and our help to build new lives. To thost who still oear :he wounds, both physical and psychic, from all our wars, we acknowledge our continuing responsibility. Of all the millions of Americans who served in Southeast Asia, the majority have successfully rejoined the mainstream of American life. To them, and to all w-io served or suffered in that war, we give our solemn pledge lo pursue all honorable means to establish a just and lasting peace in the world, that no future generation need suffer in this way again. NOW, THEREFORE, 1, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, call upon all Americans to observe May 28 through June 3, 1979, the week of our traditional Memorial Day. as Vietnam Veterans Week. On this occasion, let us as a Nation express our sincere thanks for the service of all Vietnam era veterans. I urge my fellow citizens and my fellow veterans, and their groups and organizations, to honor the patriotism of these veterans, and to recognize their civilian contributions to their communities in America today. I call upon the state and local governments to join wuh me in proclaiming Vietnam Veterans Week, and to publicly recognize with appropriate ceremonies and aaivities yesterday’s service and today’s contributions of Vietnam era veterans. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the tnited States of America the two hundred and third. 7 Rocks Friday, May 11, Judge Ralph Davis of Wilkesboro gave a talk to a group of students here at wcc. Oh, but what a talk. Judge Davis is a rock hound. The group of students was Dr. Jo Hendrix’s Physical Science III Class. The first part of the class was on learning about the rocks and minerals of tne eaim. Judge Davis had several samples of rocks from all over the world. He had cut samples of the rock and then he also had several polished ring settings. He gave a talk on how the rocks were cut and polished and where the rocks came from. -Karen Mathis
