RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF
CHELSEA ON THE SUPREME SACRIFICI OF A HERO
CPL. STEPHEN F. KOZLOWSKI ( 100 Hawthorn St. )
WHEREAS, in this solemn hour of the supreme test of America's faith, when
determined foes deny, defy, and would defile the very conceptions
and aspirations which to us, nurtured in liberty, make life
precious and sacred, and
WHEREAS, lives have been given gladly that this Nation under God may
have a new birth of freedom, and
WHEREAS, the road to Victory is long and difficult and at crimson cost,and
WHEREAS, our wills must remain steadfast and our faith strong as was the
faith of our fathers when they built this Nation, and
WHEREAS, we pray that our flag, born in the tragedy of strife may be an
inspiring symbol to all the world that out of today's death and
night shall rise the dawn of an ampler life for all manking. He
left behind him perhaps the supreme achievement attainable by any
man- a legacy of love and respect for his country that it may
be preserved.
Post-mortem eulogy is only back pay. History can neither be flattered
nor bribed. Its verdict is final. Eulogies expiate epithets;
beatitudes are bestowed where bread was once begrudged. It is
with profound sorrow but with the thought that a privilege was
reserved for him to make the suprome sacrifice, that these
resolutions are herewith inscribed in the archives of the City.
Communism, intolerance, bigotry and isolationism, at bitter bloody cost
to us in the lives of American youth, will certainly be destroyed.
