Memorial Day, May 30
Today we gather, young and old, to honor heroes ever bold.
In love of country, shedding blood, off dying in some climb of mud.
We come to watch a mother's tear, for someone special she holds dear,
Roll down its path on a grief stained face, where pain and pride contend with grace.
In F lander's Fields still poppies blow, between crosses, row on row.
Where gallant men, beneath the sod, await the bugle call of God.
Your quarrel with the foe is done, you ran the race, your crown is won.
We caught your torch; we hold it high. We'll do so ' till the day we die.
Like Moses with his mighty staff, you fought the wrongs on right's behalf.
You showed by deed to all the world, our FLAG'S true strength when once unfurled.
This day our country sets aside, to honor you with prayer and pride.
The memories of life's young spring, are roses now that makes hearts sing!
Now go to sleep and slumber on; your troubles here below are gone.
Your rifle has been put to rest; you marched to heaven with the best.
With patron saints to welcome you, all spangled in red, white and blue!
You lived a patriotic role, and set for us an awesome goal!
And so today, we gather here, to honor those we hold quite dear.
To conjure up the joyful past, and strainto make each mem ' ry last.
We march ourp'rade a country mile, and call to mind a parting smile.
This solemn gathering each year, consoles old hearts with farming cheer.
Dear Father of the good and brave, give us the strength that we behave
The way our honored dead have done, and run the race that we have won!
To love our country, neighbor, too, and recognizes our debt to You.
And Father, at Your final call, may we join heroes in their Hall!
by Walter G. O'Connell
In memory of those men and women of Bethpage
and all across our country who gave their lives for their country
so that we all may live in freedom.

( By Linda ' Mangano
Memorial Day brings with it the traditional parade, bar- b- que
and family gatherings. It also to many is the official start of the
summer season and warmer weather. What we need to
remember, however, is that although it is fun participate in all
these family events; we need to remember the true meaning and
the real significance of Memorial Day. You see on this day we all
need to pause and reflect as well as give thanks to so many men
and women who bravely gave their lives to our country to insure
the freedoms that we enjoy and cherish so much today. The men
and women of our armed forces throughout history are the true
heroes that we all need to remember and pay tribute to on
Memorial as well as ever day of the year.
And this is the lesson that we need to teach our children. We
cannot let future generations forget the supreme sacrifice that so
many gave for their country. Our children need to be aware of
how many men and women came home from war maimed in body
and spirit. They need to remember the courage and strength that
they all had as well as the horrors they had to endure. We can
not let future generations forget the importance and the
significance of our flag and we need to make sure that our
children give our Veterans and our flag the respect and honor
they so rightly deserve. And we must teach them these lessons so
that they never forget. I truly believe that in order to know where
you are going you must first know where you've been. That is
why, to me, it is so important to make sure that the respect and
adoration we have for the Veterans of our country is never
diminished and never forgotten as time goes on. It is our
obligation as Americans to make sure that the legacy of our
Veterans is never forgotten.
We live in a country that enjoys so many precious freedoms.
We worship as we wish, we speak our minds and we are able to
actively participate in our democracy through our right to vote.
These freedoms were not simply handed to us. They are
privileges and rights that we cherish because we received them
through the blood, sweat and tears of so many Veterans and their
families who fought long and hard and sacrificed so much. You
see, freedom is not free. It wasn't free then and it is not free
today. These brave men and women believed so deeply in what
they were fighting for that they were willing to give up their lives.
The commitment they had to their country is something that no
one should ever take for granted or ever forget.
So this Memorial Day, enjoy your picnic and take part in our
annual parade, but above all take a moment to remember why
this day is so important. Think about the men and women who
fought for this country and for each of us. Think about the gift of
freedom, which was given to all of us by our Veterans, and thank
them. Thank them by remembering their sacrifice. Thank them by
saluting the flag they fought for and thank them by never ever
forgetting what it is they did for our country and all of us who
are blessed to be part of this wonderful country. God bless all of
our Veterans. We salute their spirit, their dedication, and their
courage and thank them for the sacrifices they all made for all of
us.

THE HISTORY OF
MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day was originally
known as Decoration Day because it
was a time set aside to honor the
nation's Civil War dead by decorating
their graves. It was first widely
observed on May 30,1868, to
commemorate the sacrifices of Civil
War soldiers, by proclamation of
General John A. Logan of the Grand
Army of the Republic, an
organization of former sailors and
soldiers. On May 5, 1868, Logan
declared in General Order No. 11
that:
The 30th of May, 1868, is
designated for the purpose of
strewing with flowers, or otherwise
decorating the graves of comrades
who died in defense of their country
during the late rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in almost every city,
village, and hamlet churchyard in the
land. In this observance no form of
ceremony is prescribed, but posts
and comrades will in their own way
arrange such fitting services and
testimonials of respect as
circumstances may permit.
During the first celebration of
Decoration Day, General James
Garfield made a speech at Arlington
National Cemetery, after which
5,000 participants helped to
decorate the graves of the more
than 20,000 Union and Confederate
soldiers buried in the cemetery.
This 1868 celebration was
inspired by local observances of the
day in several towns throughout
American that had taken place in the
three years since the Civil War. In
fact, several Northern and Southern
cities claim to be the birthplace of
Memorial Day, including Columbus,
Miss.; Macon, Ga.; Richmond, Va.;
Boalsburg, Pa.; and Carbondale, III.
In 1966, the federal government,
under the direction of President
Lyndon Johnson, declared
Waterloo, N. Y., the official birthplace
of Memorial Day. They chose
Waterloo - which had first celebrated
the day on May 5,1866 - because
the town had made Memorial Day an
annual, community- wide event
during which businesses closed and
residents decorated the graves of
soldiers with flowers and flags.
By the late 1800s, many
communities across the country had
begun to celebrate Memorial Day
and, after World War I, observances
also began to honor those who had
died in all of America's wars. In 1971,
Congress declared Memorial Day a
national holiday to be celebrated the
last Monday in May. ( Veterans Day, a
day set aside to honor all veterans,
living and dead, is celebrated each
year on November 11.)
Today, Memorial Day is
celebrated at Arlington National
Cemetery with a ceremony in which
a small American flag is placed on
each grave. Also, it is customary for
the president or vice- president to
give a speech honoring the
contributions of the dead and lay a
wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. About 5,000 people attend
the ceremony annually.

You couldn't be wide
You couldn't be tall
You had to be small
To fit into the ball,
The turret under the B- 17
Manned only by airmen
Agile and lean.
Far out over Europe
They flew through the sky
Filled with fighters and flak
Where so many would die.
Those belly gunners so brave and
young
Rode beneath each Fortress
Where their twin fifties hung.
Their job was dangerous
And lonely we know
To protect their craft
If attacked from below.
They say they're not heroes
In their wartime tales,
They saw hell in a heaven
Filled with long vapor trails.
Their missions were flown
At a terrible cost,
And mankind is grateful
To those who were lost,
Those crews who spun earthward
Wrapped in smoke and in flames
Leaving hometowns far distant
To honor their names.
One of those ball turret gunners we
know
Who survived that war
And returned long ago;
Came home to Long Island
Where he earned new found fame
Writing pamphlets and booklets
Proudly bearing his name.
He researched and studied
Many Long Island places,
Gathered documents and photos

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
On Sunday, May 29, 2005, the Missionary Sisters of St. Benedict are
hosting a Communion Breakfast to benefit Pawel Szkutnicki. This very
courageous and brave young man suddenly became paralyzed from the neck
down when he was 14 years old.
As one might expect, his health insurance and medical expenses have
exceeded his family's resources. His health insurance alone is $ 507 per
month.
Fr. Maruisz Koch, CFR will celebrate the Mass at 10: 00 AM at the
Missionary Sisters of St. Benedict, 350 Cuba Hill Road, Huntington, NY
11743. Weather permitting, breakfast will be outside on the lovely grounds of
the convent.
For more information, Allison Ricciardi ( allison@ conditionupdate. com).
Thank you for any attention given this very important event.

Top 5Tips onProtectingYour Wishes
and Rights With a Living Will
In light of the Terri Schiavo case,
Lesch & Lesch, a leading Bronx-based
law firm serving the
community for over forty years,
today announced the top 5
necessary steps one should take
when creating a Living Will. The
lengthy debate concerning the fate
of Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman
who was incapacitated for over
fifteen years before her
demise/ death, has brought many
issues to the forefront.
" That case demonstrated the
great importance of having a Living
Will in place," said David P. Lesch of
Lesch & Lesch. " If Ms. Schiavo had
a Living Will, there is a strong
possibility that the uncertainty
involving her personal decision and
the pain of her loved one's suffering
could have been avoided."
So, what steps should one take
to create a Living Will? Lesch &
Lesch recommends the following 5
tips:
1. Choose your advocate wisely -
Make sure you select an individual
who will stand by your decisions and
fight on your behalf. You may also
want to choose a back- up in case
something happens to your primary
advocate.
2. Leave no room for
interpretation - Make sure that your
Living Will is comprehensive and
clearly outlines your desire for
medical attention in a variety of
situations. Be clear and specific in
conveying what you want.
3. Keep it updated - As you
become older, you may have
different beliefs and priorities. You
should consult the document at
least once a year to see if anv
changes need to be made.
4. Don't keep it to yourself -
Discuss your wishes with family
members, friends and doctors. It
may also be beneficial to make
copies of your will and give them to
appropriate individuals.
5. Consult the professionals - If
you write the will yourself, it's always
best to consult a legal professional
to ensure that the document is valid.
' Though nobody wants to think
about being involved in tragedy, the
uncertainties in life deem it prudent
for one to create a Living Will,"
commented Mr. Lesch. " Having a
thorough legal document outlining
the actions you want taken will
ensure that you receive the
treatment you want and the respect
you deserve should you become
unable to speak for yourself."

OBITUARIES
Best, Alexander Jr. of
Freehold, NJ passed away May 11,
2005. Beloved husband of Virginia.
Loving father of Alexander Best and
Kim Sabino. Dear brother of Edward,
Harvey, and Judy Dixson. Proud
grandfather of Emily Best and
Michael Sabino. A Religious
Service, Pastor Theodore Bean
presiding, was held Monday, May
16, with interment following at
Calverton National Cemetery.
Arrangements were entrusted to the
Arthur F. White Funeral Home, Inc.
Garner, Elizabeth ( or Liz
Garner as she preferred to be called)
was never one to take " no" for an
answer. A resident of Farmingdale,
she graduated Hofstra University
with a degree in Elementary
Education. Liz ( age 48) passed away
in her sleep on the morning of May
6, 2005. It will not be her passing
that people will remember it will be
her deep enthusiastic love of the
arts, people and life that will bring
forth smiles for years to come.
Despite losing her vision to diabetes
at age 28, Miss Garner's greatest
accomplishments were to come after
an event that would have left most
bitter. It merely proved to be a
catalyst as Liz would go on to travel
the country participating in sporting
events for the blind, including per
personal passion, swimming. She
became a featured speaker and
regular representative for the
Smithtown Guide Dog Foundation
and was featured in over a dozen
newspaper articles and photographs
for her hard work assisting others.
She became a lobbyist in both
Washington, D. C. and Albany, for
the Americans with Disabilities Acts,
and was featured on television
shows such as ' The God Squad." A
huge supporter of the arts,
undoubtedly formed when she
studied Television Production at
Nassau Community College in the
late 70s, Liz owned thousands of
CDs and was a loyal fan of live
theatre, musical performances and
stand- up comedy, absorbing as
much as she could find time for and
enthusiastically introducing others
to all areas of the arts. She was also
very active in the Massapequa Park
Lions Club, and seemed to be the
first person to buy tickets to every
fundraiser she encountered. Liz is
survived by her husband, Bill Hilton,
mother Edith, brother Steven, sister
Allison and brother in law, Bruce. A
Service with Rev. Paul and Jan ( a
childhood friend) Gilbert presiding
was held Monday, May 9, at the
Arthur F. White Funeral Home.
Donations in Liz's memory may be
sent to the Lions Club of
Massapequa Park.
