THE JEWISH NEWS

Pe.ge Three

Colin P. elly
didn't have to do it!

* There is nothing in the Regulations of the armed forces of
America that requires a man to fling away his life deliberately.

* He's supposed to take chances, for that is war, but it's entirely
up to his own judgment what chances he takes.

* Colin Kelly could have taken his chance of a hit or miss
from a high altitude and lived to tell the tale, instead of
diving into the target head-on.

* And even if he had missed the HARUNA and come through
the war unscathed, he would still have been a hero "when
the boys come marching home."

He could have "played safe" . . . and lived!

Instead ... he "played safe" . . . and died!.

*

Colin Kelly "played safe" for Arnerida and not for Colin
Kelly!!

And he didn't have to do it!

It wasn't in the Regulations

* And doing more than we are required to do isn't in the
Regulations for your job
for ours

* We can "play safe" within the Regulations and get by .. .
or we can "play safe" beyond Regulations and get results.

* Colin Kelly simply demonstrated that the highest duty in
war is the willingness to exceed it . . and that applies to
a civilian as well as a soldier.

* We shall win this war, not by doing merely what we are told
to do, but by doing all that we are able to do and all that
we can find to do, and that is the least that we can do for
those who are doing more than we can ever hope to do the
longest day we live !
