PRAYER FOR PEACE: MEMORIAL DAY, 1948

Memorial Day each year provides a fitting occasion upon which American citizens, who have ever been devoted to the ways of peace, may direct their attention to the human losses resulting from the ravages of war.

From the sacred memory of beloved friends and relatives who were sacrificed in the ordeal of battle, we may derive inspiration for renewed prayers and redoubled exertions in a mighty striving for peace.

Although the months and years after the end of hostilities in the world's most tragic war are steadily passing, mankind has not yet found the long-sought basis of an unbreakable, righteous peace. In all humility we wish to acknowledge our need for divine guidance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, pursuant to a resolution of Congress approved May 28, 1948, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe Sunday, May 30, 1948, as Memorial Day by praying to Almighty God, each in accordance with his religious faith, that permanent peace may prevail among men. And I designate the hour beginning at eight o'clock in the evening, Eastern Standard Time, as a period in which all the people of the United States may unite in prayer for a permanent peace.

I also request the newspapers, radio stations, and other media of information

to cooperate in the observance of Memorial Day this year as a day of prayer, and particularly in the appeal for a universal prayer in the evening of that day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this 28th day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and [SEAL] forty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and seventysecond.

WHEREAS in our day the American flag symbolizes the realization of the ideal of freedom in a world where that ideal is insecure; and

WHEREAS it has properly become a national custom to observe the anniversary of the adoption of the flag by public and private ceremonies in commemoration of the flag's inspiring history and in recognition of its present meaning:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings on June 14, 1948, and I call upon the people of the Nation to observe that day as Flag Day by suitable ceremonies and by the display of the flag at their homes and other appropriate places. I also urge all citizens to reflect upon the responsibilities which this banner enjoins as well as the privileges it carries, remembering that the flag represents the Nation and that our Nation and its citizens should uphold the concept of free government on all occasions in order that the blessings of liberty may flourish among men.
