McKean Democrat Editorial Urges Veterans Duty and Naval Careers
A 1920 McKean County editorial appeals to defense veterans to uphold Union ideals and to inspire youth toward naval service. It highlights the Grand Army of the Republic, praises the merchant marine revival, and notes the State Nautical Schoolship program Annamapolis voyage, with training for ages 17 to 26 and no cost beyond clothing. It criticizes partisan rhetoric, praises Walsh’s call for a congressional inquiry, and condemns wartime propaganda while urging stable governance and relief for veterans.
