try. 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.

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
