Major Edens told the hushed audience that we must meet the challenge of today's world by "Building this notion on the Great ness of God, not the greatness of i man." If those who died in battle could j speak, he continued, they would say, "Do not put faith in the atomic j bomb or oilier modern war weap ons alone, but place your faith in I God Almighty." "II lliey could speak," said the Chaplain, a combat veteran, "They would say, 'Ruild this nation on the Greatness of God. "Man through the ages relied on weapons of war, this nation has won all the wars in which it has participated. "But this does not give us the right lo forget God. "May the flag wave over this land of free people, people who live God. "To you who have served may we keep faith by keeping this nat ion great on the Greatness of God." The chaplain, who since Ihe war has conducted reburial services for 180 combat veterans, extended his sympathy to those who had lost loved ones in the war. He expressed appreciation to the people of Hay wood County, saying: You have done your part in commemorating the memory of the service men and women of this great country.
