He maintained that Americans should renew their patriotism to our coun try on Memorial Day as well as remember the dead soldiers. "We can never repay the debt we owe our-war dead... but we can begin to repay the honor of these men by dedi cating ourselves to the ser vice of America and hold dear and maintain the princi ples and institutions of the United States." Stevens wrote. "American loyalty is not to be reserved for war time alone, it is a peacetime duty, too." And, as a personal chal lenge on Memorial Day. Americans have not only the dead of wars in the past to remember, but the soldiers who recently lost their lives trying to rescue the American hostages in Iran. As Memorial Day ap proaches. we should begin to think about America and the military forces who have always been so willing to defend our rights to liberty, life and happiness. Americans should now, more than ever before, be aware of how far away from the patri otic spirit we have strayed and on Memorial Day each one of us should not only honor the dead soldiers but renew our pledge of alle giance to the United States of America. But. that is not all. Each citizen should say a special prayer for the 50 hostages in Iran who have been held for months by a group of militant students.

Along the Way By Emily Klllette! Memorial Day is Monday the h. and it is a day to h. .n< r i he many men and women who have died in the service of our country. The Memorial Day custom do cs back to 1866 when i hrce women from Columbus. Mississippi gath red flowers to decorate the graves of their loved ones in ne local cemetery. Joining nc women was a widow of a v><ung soldier, and by the end of their ceremony the women had decided to place single flowers on each of the graves of both the Confed erate and Union dead. Two years later. Gen. John A. Logan. c.>mmander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued orders for a Memorial Day which called for 'he decoration of the graves of dead soldiers. Since the Civil War from which Memorial Day evolved, America has lost many more soldiers in ser vice. There have been two World Wars, and conflicts bo.it in Korea and Vietnam and the United States lost s o8b.000 lives in the defense of its way of life. In all the wars in which America has participated 1,081.000 lives have been lost according to 1979 figures from the Veter ans Administration Informa tion Service. America has spent over half of its inde pendent life span fighting wars. We have fought a total of 127 years in different wars. And, of the years spent at war. 97 years were spent fighting in the United States. Included in the years are the nine years of the Revolution ary War for Independence, ihree years of the War of 1812, 81 years of Indian Wars, and four years of the Civil War. In a 1934 edition of the DUPLIN HERALD. Judge Henry L.Stevens,Jr., wrote an article concerning the Memorial Day tradition. Stevens encouraged Americans to stop and re member the people who had lost their lives defending our country. He maintained that Americans should renew their patriotism to our coun I MANY THANKS I To all who stood with me through the election.
