EDITORIAL Memorial Day - What's It To Me? Tomorrow, May 30, is Memorial Day. It is the day, the dictionary says, on which we commemorate the nation's military dead. It is an occasion on which we would like to accomplish at least one goal: that of bringing into sharp focus the contrast between the attitude of those men who faced the Four Horsemen and were ridden down and those citizens of America today who preach and practice the cynicism of "What's In It For Me?" If any readers be of this school, or if some may merely be the morally flabby tolerants of that ilk we ask that they conjure with us the faces of the military dead we know. We ask that they look these honored dead in the eye and wonder aloud, "what was in it for you?" The answer is too obvious. They went to their death; some sharp. They forgot self except as that self was related by responsibility and love to those on the shore behind. This is the cohesive spirit we so desperately need in America today. It is in utter contrast to the finite division of our society reflected by the words "for me." You will encounter in every day of your life an opportunity to ask "what's in it for me" of projects, plans and pleas that are presented to you. You will be equally aware of those around you who have similar opportunities to respond. We are not now in danger of dying because of our answers and choices but, in the name of all Memorial Days, we should have the moral courage to stand up and protect that for which men did die to keep intact. When we are faced with questions of what is good for our neighborhood, our city, state and nation, let us forget the sense "me" which will kill by its hot cold application. Let us, instead remember a part of those work Lincoln uttered in honor of Gettysburg dead: "xxx It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, —" If any readers be of this school, or if some may merely be the morally flabby tolerants of that ilk we ask that they conjure with us the faces of the military dead we know. We ask that they look these honored dead in the eye and wonder aloud, "what was in it for you?" The answer is too obvious. They went to their death; some sharp, and sudden, some long and painfully. But, they all had known it was coming for a long time. Military men are seldom surprised by death. He is too constantly with them. But knowing the Fourth Horseman is pressing along their back trail and might at any moment burst into full view does not deter them from carrying out their duties and responsibilities as they see them to be done. Above all, when the chips are down and things are getting grim, there is no thought of "what's in it for me." He knows what is probably in it for him. But, why does he accept this role? This is the crux of the whole question we pursue here today. We can dismiss the personal gain. Death closes the personal ledger. We can dismiss most any selfish motive. There is little to be gained by friends and relatives of a dead military man. We believe the man saw the worth of something greater than himself that his dying would preserve and protect. This is why he kept going until the hooves trampled him into oblivion. This is why, on one day a year we can, on a nation-wide basis, pay homage to these men. Their individual deaths did turn a tide of battle to the end that the way of life we hold dear was preserved and protected. If any one of them had stopped to ask, "what's in it for me," he could well be alive today. For he certainly would have run from the carnage scene that offered him only one answer. These men stood up for mankind in a moment of supreme test.
