CHARLES A. TEMPLETON
GOVERNOR
TNOVEM BER 11, 1918, was a day of rejoicing

of four years of war had come to an end. For
three years our allies had fought alone. But at last
we awoke to our duty, and American armies began to play a
decisive part. The Armistice brought us joy, because we had

In thankfulness for those who returned, in grateful

Let the day be one of rejoicing that peace came with
victory; that our country chose the way of sacrifice and right
rather than the soft paths of safety and dishonor. Let it
perpetuate the memory of those brave men who died and of
their comrades who were willing to die. Let it be dedicated
to the relief of the many who lost health and youth and
substance in the common cause. Let it be a day of resolve
that the Nation through the years to come shall continue
faithful to their memory and to their example.
