Burnev As Speaker American Legion Held Memorial Service For Men Who Have Given Lives N; NE GOLD STAR CITATIONS AWARDED TO RELATIVES Legion Is Very Anxious For Names Of All Brunswick Men Who Have Been Killed During War HONORED MEMORY OF MEN.. With Judge John J. Burney, veteran of the first world war, and stalwart of the American Legion, delivering the address, the Brunswick county dead in woild war II were fittingly honored at the Memorial services here in the High School auditorium Sunday afternoon. A pouring rain that lasted for two hours and almost up to the minute when the exercises started, kept many away. Still there was a good audience, including a considerable number of people from all sections of the county. Judge Burney was introduced to the gathering by Charles Trott, Commander of the Brunswick Post. ThQ judge is too well known for his services overseas in the first world war, and his patriotic zeal in the present conflict for any doubts to exist, among those who did not hear him, that the Brunswick dead lacked a fitting eulogy. He covered the wars from those in Greece in 1200 A. D. to the present battle surrounding Rome. He told of what we are fighting for there and on many another far flung battle fronts; to uphold the freedom of Democracy and all that America has stood for since the landing at Plymouth Rock.
