The custom of observing a day once a year for the purpose
of especially paying tributes of memory to those who so bravely
gave their lives that the nation might live and be a purer and
better home for the oppressed of all lands, is one of the most
commendable of our national life. “Greater love hath no man
than this—that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
The legions that lie buried in NAother Earth, very many
of them in unmarked graves, will never be forgotten. Their
sacrifice will be forever an inspiration to higher citizenship upon
the part of those who live to-day and to-morrow, in order that
we may so guide the State that it will be worthy of the hallowed
dead who died for it.
Then let us gather throughout all NMichigan and strew
flowers on land and water in honor of the heroes of the army
and navy who are gone, but not forgotten. And let us con-
secrate ourselves anew to the service of God and our country,
so that the march of the living may be always upward to better
things, higher motives, and truer ideals. A grateful people
make a gracious land.

Ulterefure, l, Chase S. Osborn, Governor of the Common-
wealth of NWichigan, do hereby issue this my Proclamation,
and earnestly urge the observance of Tuesday, NMay 30, 1911, as
