A Thought for Memorial Day--Have We Kept the Faith? May 28, 1925

A Thought for Memorial Day—Have We Kept Faith?

By A.B. Chapin

To you.

From falling hands

We throw the Torch—

Be yours

To hold it high!

If ye break Faith

With us who die,

We shall not sleep,

Though Poppies

Grow in

Flanders Field

1917-1918

They Went To War to End War

A Busy, Forgetful Generation
