Perk Memory Day Message
preview cassette # 991799 Cleveland Mayor, Ralph Perk, gives a memorial day address. He stands at a podium with an American flag behind him. He asks for people to reflect on the unique blessings that the citizens of the United States possess. He goes on to say that Americans are able to enjoy their freedoms because so many have died to make it possible. Brave men have fought to keep aggressors from our shores and have fought on foreign land to prevent war on our land. In doing this, these men have won freedom for many nations. Every American must put aside political and partisan thoughts and join in prayer for the President's (Nixon) success with the peace mission with Russia. He states that we have the intellect to settle conflict by means other than war.
