KROLEE, President Parents Find Solace In Sgt. Levin's Death "My only son is lost, but he will live in our memory forever. He will live in the memory of all America." Thus, briefly, Mrs. Leah Levin, of 1504 East 33rd St., Brooklyn, N. Y., expressed the pride and the sorrow of a mother to whom word came that her son, Sgt. Meyer Levin, had given his life for his country. SGT. MEYER LEVIN Submit Servicemen's Names to Jewish News The Jewish News will publish another impressive list of names of Detroit Jews who are serving in the armed forces of our coun- try in forthcoming issues. Readers are asked to submit names of their relatives and friends which have not yet ap- peared in our columns for in- sertion in these lists which will form a permanent record of De- troit Jewry's participation in the war. The father, Samuel Levin, had a similar message for America: "The cause for which our boy died is freedom for all of us at home. He played a brave role. He fought for our freedom and liberty at home. Not only Mike was a hero, but every boy out there doing his share is also a hero." The sentiments of Sergeant Levin's parents echo the views of all fighting Americans who are determined that this war shall be won by the democratic forces of the world. May Sgt. Meyer Levin's mem- ory be a blessing for all genera- tions to come. ?NNW NOW N1011,k NI/1W 'MOW 'IOW 'via.
