Re*. Carl H. Satre, president of the library board, accepted the flag. Following is Rev. Satre’s speech of acceptance. Acceptance Speech “In accepting this flag in behalf of the Library Board. I want to thank the .American Legion Post. When we were planning the new addition to our library the board agreed to erect a flag pole on the front. To me the flag of our United States has always stood as a symbol of our great heritage and of the unlimited opportunities of the future. I hope that another flag in our community will tell this to those who see it. “Because it is a symbol of our heritage it is appropriate to receive it in connection with a com■meration of Veteran’s Day for this is the flag under which millions of men and women of our nation have fought and often died in wars in distant lands. "For me to think about our countries veterans is a kind of Thanksgiving ft>r I must think of those j who served not just far their coury j try. but those who served for me and who preserved, something with their lives, this great heritage that I can now call mine. "And yet I know that even many of the veterans who knew me were not thinking of me personally when they were in the great and small battles it was for the freedom and rights of man that they were fighting. “Everyoie knows the thanks we owe those who served. Their names are the names of places, Argonne, the Bulge. Bataan, Corregidor, and manv other places which have made strange, unworldly sounding, names into household words. Korea and its landmarks are remembered. its rivers and reserviors. And : vet these are not places, these are men who are not just fighting and ’ dving for water-filled trenches, fields and rivers but for the freedom and rights we call inalienable, the kind which cannot be taken away but which belongs to everyone. “The future will laways be before i

ial services held Tuesday evening in the Legion hall in downtown Syracuse. Other members of the Syracuse library board are. left-to right, Mrs. Ruth Rapp and Mrs. Joe Bushong,

lus It is towards this tliat we must I all continue to struggle. The veterans and those of us xyho were civilians must join in the ongoing i fight for the things spoken of in the United States Constitution and in the Legion Constitution. The veteran dare not forget why he risked his life, why his buddies died. I am forever grateful for the veterans, living and dead, and now wich to join the fight to insure that which was won in war is not lost in peace. "Again I want to thank you for j tKis flag which wiU be displayed at the library as often as possible to remind all who set it of I our heritage and our future”. Commander Van Hemert also announces that on November 21 the Legion will hold its annual turkey party. . Special Speaker At Syracuse Baptist Church 1 Df. John C. Whitcomb, professor ■ of Old Testament at Grace Theo- ! logical seminary, Winona Lake, j will be the featured speaker at the j morning and evening serxices at the Syracuse Baptist church this Sunday.
