Title |
284_The Last Full Measure |
Creator |
Rich, Edward I. (Edward Israel), 1868-1969 |
OCR Text |
Show The Last Full Measure America’s great tragedy, the Civil War, gave birth to one of America’s great observances, Memorial Day. Conceived by the Grand Army of the Republic as an occasion for decorating the “graves of comrades who died in defence of their country during the late rebellion,” the day long ago outgrew such narrow limits. The scars of the Civil War are healed, and we now pay tribute on Memorial Day to the dead of all our wars and, indeed, to all loved ones whose lips are forever stilled. We mourn our dead, and especially the war dead, for so many were so young. The evil genius of war, though it strikes down all, seems to prefer the bravest and the best. What great things these boys - suddenly become men in battle - might have accomplished had they been spared. Yet they were not spared. And now they sleep; some in graves near home, others in foreign lands, still others in the depths of the sea. At Gettysburg in 1863 Abraham Lincoln said that the living must resolve that the dead did not die in vain. A better, saner world would not tolerate war. Unhappily, the world shows little sign of goodness of sanity and as long as powerful men lust for more power the danger of war remains. It is not weakness to desire peace, but it would be worse than weakness to attempt to buy it. We mourn our dead today. We grieve for our loss, but their loss was so much greater. They gave “the last full measure of devotion.” If we are to keep faith with this great silent host, we must return measure for measure. |
