PRESS RELEASE:
Memorial Day - Then and Now

It was the closing days of World War II. Victory in Europe had been declared, there was dancing in the streets of New York City and across the land. War with Japan was soon to end.

Victory came with a horrific price. Over 410,000 Americans died and many more wounded. It came with memories too sensitive to talk about. The only land we asked of Europe was a place to bury our dead and from Japan a few Pacific islands bought with sacrificial duty.

America had liberated the World from the yoke of tyranny. That was Then.

What have we become Now? With euphoria of victory and a wide-open future, America began to forget about God. We were convinced of separation of church and state by a 501c3 regulation, schools were not to open with prayer by Court decree, and the Imago Dei died with Roe v. Wade.

Tony, my brother-in-law, was twice shot down and rescued from European waters. He had often wondered if World War II was necessary. Shortly after VE Day he said he got his answer on a visit to Buchenwald, a Nazi death camp. World War II was necessary for the sake of humanity.

We have exceeded the German holocaust 10 times in body count with our national policy of treating the unborn child as non-human. A Human Life Amendment to the U. S. Constitution would fulfill the unalienable right to Life granted to all human beings by our Creator and stated in our Declaration principles. America would do well to remember God on Memorial Day.
