Prayer for Peace, Memorial Day, 2005
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
On Memorial Day, we honor the men and women in uniform who have given their lives in service to our Nation. When the stakes were highest, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice for the security of our country and the peace of the world.
Throughout our Nation's history, members of the Armed Forces have taken great risks to keep America strong and free. These proud patriots have defended the innocent, freed the oppressed, and helped spread the promise of liberty to all corners of the earth. In serving our Nation, they have been unrelenting in battle, unwavering in loyalty, and unmatched in decency. Because of their selfless courage, millions of people who once lived under tyranny now are free, and America is more secure.
On Memorial Day, we remember that this history of great achievement has been accompanied by great sacrifice. To secure our freedom, many heroic service members have given their lives. This year we mark the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, and we remember the Americans who died on distant shores defending our Nation in that war. On Memorial Day and all year long, we pray for the families of the fallen and show our respect for the contributions these men and women have made to the story of freedom. Our grateful Nation honors their selfless service, and we acknowledge a debt that is beyond our power to repay.
In respect for their devotion to America, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved on May 11, 1950, as amended (64 Stat. 158), has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer. The Congress, by Public Law 106 579, has also designated the minute beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on that day as a time for all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 30, 2005, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11:00 a.m. of that day as a time to unite in prayer. I also ask all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day. I urge the media to participate in these observances.
I also request the Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all units of government, to direct that the flag be flown at half staff until noon on this Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States, and in all areas under its jurisdiction and control. I also request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the customary forenoon period.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty ninth.
GEORGE W. BUSH

Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day 2005 Message From the Secretary of Defense
I am pleased to join millions of Americans in honoring the brave men and women in uniform -- those who serve today, those who have fallen in battle, and those veterans who proudly served in the past. My father volunteered to serve in the Navy after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Millions enlisted to battle against the tide of tyranny then threatening the world. And I was privileged to serve in the Navy some 50 years ago. Now, more than 50 years later, I count my time in uniform as a most important period in my life. Thousands, if not millions, of others who have served undoubtedly feel the same way.
Military service has always been one of our country's most noble callings. America has long been the defender of liberty -- the country that has stepped forward to defend those who could not defend themselves. This was true from our country's early days at Lexington and Concord, where the earliest citizen soldiers defended their farms and homes, their new country, and the cause of freedom.
In the years that followed, the U.S. armed forces have become freedom's champion -- at Gettysburg; in the forest of the Argonne; on the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima; in the air during the Berlin blockade; and today in places like Kabul and Baghdad.
This new war we face has required our military to adapt its thinking, and challenged us to prepare in new ways. Yet whatever the mission, whatever the challenge that lies before us, each of you who are serving our country are confronting it with grit and courage. I thank each of you and your families for your service to our country.
When my father passed away some 30 years ago, I found a letter in his papers that he had received from then secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal -- who later became the first secretary of defense. Secretary Forrestal apparently sent this letter to all those who served to arrive after they had returned to civilian life. Noting the historic achievements made by the U.S. military, he wrote: "You have served in the greatest Navy in the world. ... It crushed two enemy fleets at once, receiving their surrenders only four months apart. It brought our land-based air power within bombing range of the enemy and set our ground armies on the beachheads of final victory. ... For your part in these achievements you deserve to be proud as long as you live. The nation you served at a time of crisis will remember you with gratitude."
That letter to my father now hangs on my office wall in the Pentagon. It is a reminder to me of our country's fighting spirit. And I see that same spirit in the actions of the men and women in uniform every day. It is that spirit that we honor on this holiday: the selfless duty and devotion passed down from generations who served before, and the courage of those who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.
Our country is proud of every member of our armed forces -- volunteers all -- and we are deeply grateful to those who have sacrificed for the cause of liberty. May God bless each of you, may God bless your families, and may God bless our wonderful country.
Donald H. Rumsfeld
All gave some, some gave all

WASHINGTON, May 29, 2005 – The U.S. armed forces are in good shape on this Memorial Day weekend, and military personnel well understand and believe in what they are fighting for overseas, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Air Force Gen. Richard Myers said today. "They know what this is all about in terms of this effort against violent extremism," Myers told Bob Schieffer on the CBS News program "Face the Nation." "They're proud of what they're doing; they understand the importance of the mission. We see that in their cards and letters home, their e-mails home, and their phone calls."
Myers noted that he gave the commencement address to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., the previous day. The 2005 Class entered the academy just prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
"They experienced the nation going to war, and 911 of them graduated yesterday," Myers said. When "you look in their eyes, shake their hands, talk to them, ... they understand what their purpose is and what they must do for this country."
All of the West Point graduates, he observed, raised their "right hands and swore to defend and support the Constitution of this country. So I think the state of our military is very, very healthful -- busy, very busy, but healthy."
This is Myers' last year of formal military service. He steps down Sept. 30 after having served 40 years in the Air Force and four years as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"I am very thankful," he told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "I'm proud to wear the uniform and proud to have served with some really great Americans."
Myers paid homage to U.S. military personnel, both stateside and overseas, who are "defending our freedoms and our friends' and allies' freedom around the world."
"I'll leave my position knowing that there's a whole group of folks coming along that are dedicated to this country, to our freedoms, and to ensuring that those freedoms endure as long as they possibly can," he said.

As raindrops dripped over the names of those Lycoming County citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, aging veterans in transparent ponchos and Young Marines in saturated uniforms paid tribute to those who lost their lives in service during a ceremony Saturday at Memorial Park.
Heavy rain kept some people away from the 13th annual Memorial Day service sponsored by the Lycoming County Veterans Council Inc., but many local officials, residents and veterans braved the weather to honor those who braved so much more.
Memorial Park is home to six monuments on which all 649 names of Lycoming County’s fallen servicemen and women are engraved. The site honors not only the lives lost in war, but also, those service people who have lost their lives since returning home, and those who are still alive today.
Guest speaker was Sam Aungst, a veteran of the Iraq war and a city firefighter who trained Iraqi firefighters during his service.
“’Always remember Dec. 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,’” Aungst said. “Blurred and faded, tattoo green on a bulging biceps is the first time I remember seeing those words.”
The man with the tattoo was Aungst’s uncle, Johnny, who told him that he could never get rid of those words, for better or for worse, and that like a serviceman’s duty in war, whether you want to or not, you’ll always remember.
Aungst spoke of his own service in Iraq, saying that older Iraqis seemed to be more grateful than the younger ones. He speculated it was because the elders remember a time before Saddam Hussein when there was more freedom.
One day, while he was training his first class of Iraqis, Aungst said an elderly gentleman bent down on his knees, spoke some words in Arabic and began kissing his feet. An interpreter later told Aungst that the man was showing his appreciation for his service.
“How do you react to a 60-some-year-old man kissing your feet?” Aungst said.
Often, today’s young people get a bad rap in the media, when thousands of young kids who are doing much more good than evil are overlooked. In the same way, the media distorts reality in its coverage of the war in Iraq, Aungst said.
“We don’t receive prevailing good news of our youth, and Iraqi freedom is no different,” he said.
Aungst called for all of those in attendance to remember the real reason for Memorial Day, and to honor those who have lost their lives by flying flags at half staff until noon or by participating in a national moment of remembrance for one minute at 3 p.m. Monday.
“Forget not those rocks, those beacons of light that keep the home fire burning,” he said.
Jess P. Hackenburg II, chairman of the Veterans Memorial Park Commission and a U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran, introduced various veterans as they placed wreaths on each of the six monuments:
• The Williamsport Submarine Memorial was the first to be placed in the park, and it was the first to receive a wreath on Saturday. Three men from Lycoming County lost their lives in submarines during World War II, and this monument, which showcases a submarine torpedo, an anchor and a propeller, is in honor of those men, and all who served on Navy submarines.
• In World War I, Lycoming County lost 131 people, two of whom were women. Hackenburg said that disease was the main cause of death for those service people.
• During World War II, Hackenburg said the biggest cause of death for military personnel was training accidents. In that war, 415 Lycoming County citizens lost their lives, including two women, he said.
• In Korea, 60 men from Lycoming County died, some in combat, others from mistreatment as prisoners of war.
• The Vietnam War memorial at the park commemorates the 43 men from Lycoming who died in that war. Most of those were combat deaths, Hackenburg said.
• The tank memorial was the final one to receive a wreath on Saturday. The tank, which is an M-60 A5 1976 model, is in honor of those veterans who came back safely to the United States.

It's Memorial Day again.
And what a somber day it is, as the number of American casualties in the Operation Iraqi Freedom approaches 1,700 service members killed in action.
Thursday evening, I visited the 1st Marine Division Headquarters at Camp Pendleton a few hours after more than 800 Marines and family members attended an emotional memorial service for the 336 Marines, 69 Army soldiers, 10 sailors and 5 British troops who were attached to the division and were killed in Iraq between March 2004 and March 2005. At least 204 of the Marines were from Camp Pendleton or Twentynine Palms.
Although the service had ended, the air still seemed to have an emotional tinge to it from the day's earlier event.
During Thursday's memorial service, 1st Marine Division Commander Maj. Gen Richard Natonski reminded everyone of the fundamental human side to today's sacrifices when he said that the troops were all "fathers, husbands, sons, brothers and our neighbors ... they were ordinary people living ordinary lives, asked to make extraordinary sacrifices."
Sgt. Nicholas Maloney, 23, told the North County Times that the service members killed in action "gave everything they had ... they made a sacrifice that not everyone is willing to make."
As to the personal anguish and sorrow, Emily Dieruf of Kentucky explained that "nothing prepares you" to confront the death of a loved one. Her husband, Cpl. Nicholas Dieruf, 21, was killed in Fallujah on April 8, 2004. She described her proud Marine husband as a "tall, broad-shouldered, square-jawed ... exemplary Marine. He certainly did not want to leave us. ... But he thought that they were over there doing the right thing."
Such can be said about every veteran who served our country during its brief 230-year history.
As North County residents go about enjoying Memorial Day with holiday pursuits, I hope that somewhere during the day people will stop for a moment to reflect upon this fact: everyone is free to enjoy this holiday thanks to the supreme price soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guard service members have made in defense of this country since 1775. For without those sacrifices, we would not have the freedom that we all enjoy today and often take for granted.
Since Jan. 1, my family, friends, neighbors and complete strangers have voiced support and prayers for my son serving in Iraq today, which demonstrates why and how North County has many compassionate people who do appreciate our freedoms.
ROME (Reuters) - The discovery of two World War II bombs in southern Italy has forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate their homes, snarled train travel and shut down a vital highway leading to the port city of Naples.
The most dramatic of the two discoveries was in the Italian town of Formia last week, where explosives experts are preparing to detonate on Tuesday a 250-kg (500-pound), 2-meter long device dropped by the British air force more than 60 years ago.
Local authorities believe the device's malfunctioning time-release mechanism was accidentally triggered upon its discovery near the train station, Formia's spokeswoman said.
They ordered more than 10,000 of the city's 36,000 residents to stay away while the army builds a special casing around the bomb to limit fallout, she added.
A second bomb was discovered by road construction workers adding another lane to a busy highway outside the city of Naples, forcing the mayor to temporarily shut down a section of the motorway over the weekend and causing delays.

Memorial Day weekend, the last weekend in May, spurs images of smoking barbecues, the aroma of hamburgers sizzling on the grill, picnics in the park and a rollicking game of Frisbee.
While family-oriented activities are a large part of Memorial Day celebrations today, there is a solemnity to this holiday that is largely forgotten by the current generation. Memorial Day's roots are not in perfecting the barbecued hot dog but in remembering those who have died in service to the nation.
There are varied stories of Memorial Day's origins, but the holiday was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868, by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and first observed May 30, 1868. Flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery to remember those who died fighting in the Civil War.
In 1873, New York became the first state to officially recognize the holiday. By 1890 it was recognized by all northern states, with some southern states abstaining.
Today, Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May in most all states. Some southern states have additional days designated to remember fallen Confederate soldiers.
Memorial Day was traditionally celebrated May 30, until 1971. Congress changed its observance to the last Monday in May, not always May 30, with the passing of the National Holiday Act.
The act ensured a three-day holiday weekend for federal holidays, a change which spurred controversy. Some believed creating a three-day weekend diminished the holiday's true meaning. A bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in 1999 to restore Memorial Day to a May 30 celebration, but has not developed further.
Ways to celebrate the more traditional aspects of Memorial Day include the wearing of a red poppy. The tradition stems from Moina Michael, who in 1915 began wearing a red poppy to honor those who died serving the nation during war.
Michael was inspired by John Mcrae's 1915 poem "In Flanders Fields," which tells of poppies blowing between crosses marking soldiers' graves. She responded with a poem of her own:
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
Michael was the first to wear a red poppy on Memorial Day, then sold poppies to others, using proceeds to benefit servicemen in need. Some of today's observers still wear read poppies on Memorial Day.
In Big Bear, there is a Memorial Day observance Remember Our Soldiers at Meadow Park 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 28. All event proceeds go to AnySoldier.com. Call Mel and Kathy Frese for information, (909) 584-9340, or visit AnySoldier.com.
Other ways to honor fallen servicemen on Memorial Day:
€ Visit cemeteries and place flags or flowers on graves of fallen servicemen.
€ Visit memorials.
€ Fly the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon.
€ Fly the POW/MIA Flag.
€ Observe the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to think about the holiday's meaning.
€ Play "Taps."
€ Renew a pledge to aid the widows, widowers and orphaned of fallen servicemen and to aid disabled veterans.

BAGHDAD, May 30 (Reuters) - U.S. troops arrested the leader of one of Iraq's main Sunni Arab political parties at his house in Baghdad on Monday, party officials said.
The U.S. military had no immediate comment on the arrest of Mohsen Abdul-Hamid, head of the Iraqi Islamic Party.
The party officials said it was not clear why he was arrested.
The party boycotted Iraq's Jan. 30 elections but was among several Sunni Arab groups that signalled this month that they were ready to take a greater role in the country's politics.
Iraq's parliament, dominated by Shi'ites and Kurds, has been trying to involve more Sunni Arabs in politics and the drafting of a new constitution, in an effort to defuse sectarian tensions and undermine the insurgency.

HILLA, Iraq (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers strapped with explosives blew themselves up among crowds of Iraqis in the mainly Shi'ite town of Hilla south of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 35, police said.
They said the first attacker detonated his bomb among Iraqis waiting at a medical center where police, army and civil service recruits have to have check-ups before being hired. The second bomber blew himself up among a crowd of police commandos protesting to demand higher wages.
Insurgents have increased attacks over the past month, killing more than 700 Iraqis since a new Shi'ite-led cabinet was announced on April 28. More than 70 U.S. troops have been killed in the same period, making May the deadliest month for the American military since January.
In February, a suicide bomb in Hilla killed 125 Iraqis -- the deadliest single insurgent attack since Saddam Hussein was overthrown
