A Paper Peace Peace on a piece of paper-Nov.

11, 1918. So horrible was World War I that even today, 3'6 years later, we bow our h~ads and pray it won't happen agam-that never again w'ifl the tramp of soldiers' feet echo through the streets of home · towns-that never again will t he boy next door I.earn. to ~hoot to kill-that never agam will a mother sob when a telegram comes.

·War weary men gathered on a bleak November day to sign a piece of paper . that would end "the' war to ·end · all wars." But what was writ t en on that paper was not writ-

rt did happen again. Shots · rang, bbinbs whistled, a baby cried. And hundreds ()f thousands of men died1 for a' cause__:_for freedom, for home and family, for democracy.

By Gloria Colananni

A deceiving sti11ness .descended over the battlefield. Snow ·fell lightly on the bloodstained earth, and although there ' was no wind, the cold January air sliced the atmosphere like a scythe.

A weary soldier stirred restlessly in his foxhole and longingly . thought of }lome and a fireplace and the family he

IJ.oved. Slowly he pushed his helmet over the

edge of the foxhole and waited tensel~ for the deafening roar of enemy gun-fire. The pregnant silence remained un-broken. Cautiousiy he crept out of the foxhole and inched his way across, , the field .

Suddenly the earth-shaking blast of a hand grenade shattered the silence, the explosive fon!e of the weapon leaving only another bloodstain and a shattered body in its wake of, destruction-.

are many who die whose bodies are never found or who are impossible to identify. It is these, the unknown soidiers, that we honor on November 11.

A r mist ice Day, now 'called Veterans' Day, is the anniversary of the end of World War I. However, as with the end of all wars', the ces:;mtion · of · hostilities

meant nothing to those who gave their lives. To the families who never again heard from their loved ones it meant the tortured agony ,..of not knowing,' not bei~g · sure ...

The debt that is owed to the unknown soldiers can never be repaid. Honor' is all there is to offer. '

Therefore in 1920, F'rance and England each buried a body of an unidentified soldier in a place of high significance-France beneath the Arc de Triomphe and England in Westminster Abbey.
