Thoughts on Memorial Day Faith and Flag Etiquette
A column reflects on Memorial Day meaning for families of fallen soldiers and calls for reverence in flag observances at Tulip Time. It condemns indifference, urges hat removal and hand over the heart, and stresses patriotism through shared memory and respect for the flag and country. It compares British and German wartime attitudes and discusses foreign relations, Hess's capture, and a push for better Pan American ties. It ends urging citizens to participate in the Food for Defense program and canning efforts to strengthen national defense.
