"Last summer 1 visited and talked with some old friends. I stopped by the War Memorial in the Library Park and read the names of the Clinton men who served their country. I thought especially of those who paid the supreme price. I remember them with deep gratitude. The following is a poem I wrote dedicated,to the memory of those who "carne not back". Remembrance I wear a poppy red today And silent, bowed my head to pray, When from the far land of Memory There marched a long thin line: Their faces grimed with battle smoke, Their shoulders sagging 'neath a pack, Comrades in arms - Who came not back. And so I wear a poppy red, Theirs was a badge of wounds that bled - Theirs a white cross where poppies wave, On silent, grass -grown, far-off grave. My poppy cost a silver,.coin, • A hasty moment fastened it, So all could see I'd done my bit. Their red badge cost - Oh, Yes, How much it cost! I owe much more - much more Than what I gave that woman in the rain For poppy red: I roust so live • That they shall not have died In vain, Dedicated to the memory of my comrades who gave their lives in World War II Sootherans speak about sight disability CLINTON - The Hospital Prayer was read by Rachel Johnson to a group of 30 people gathered for the February meeting of the Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary.
