Mr.- McKinley felt that some veterans may even be getting an inferiority 'cote Alex ° about their do- complishment of 25 or 50 years, feeling that what they did is so outof fa,§ hion riow that they should apologize for having been irk olved at all. "Veterans have no reasons . to apologize, for no large group of men ever shaped the past mbre•than`the soldiers of the past wars," he said. Mr. McKinley cited some questions , often asked by people todaySs? Why did they go? What did they achieve by doing so? Are those achievements relevant today, and why? Mr. McKinley replied to his own questions saying: They went to war to do battle with people, but •in the final analysis, theywere defending ideals and principles that we, and out allies considered worth fighting for. They fought against philosophies and ,practices that were contrary to our freedom and our democratic ' institutions, or were unacceptable in, terms .' of _ human.:. rights and - Mr. McKinley said that the veterans saw • Canada: s ideals, form of government, freedoms, culture and way 'of life being ' threatened, The veterans went forth to defend those things, in company vyiith allies. .having similar in- terests. "There are many , people who questiorf whether they were right in going to, war, especially when the threat was so far away. This is not the issue, they did what they believed to be right, and fought for'what our gover- nment'thought was right," he said.. "In. going to war the veterans achieved freedom," he continued. • "Some people think it` -was• a poor bargain' 115,000 lives and so -much • human' suffering to restore freedom . that was : only threatened, not really. lost. People say this because they don't know what it's like to lose their freedom," he said: "This is relevant today,". Mr. McKinley said, "because we enjoy freedom , and democracy in - this country because of the sacrifices of past generations." "Freedom is not• something that •can be purchased outright, it must be guarded or it will be ti .atoned, nd then it will 'have to • be reclaimed or it will be lost," he said.
