THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
America And The Men in Gate. The New York “Times” in an editorial on the British ceremony at the opening of the Memorial Alenin Gate at Ynres said: “We of all the universe have reason to stand with gratitude before the Gate to give honor to those who perished behind it. But for their endurance and that of their comrades, living and dead, it would be not a memorial of their service but a monument to their defeat —the gate opening to the sea and to our own coasts. And yet we continue to speak of their debt to us! Their debt, who have put us and all the world in eternal debt to them.”
