LOYALTY
Loyalty Day, celebrated each year on May 1st or days
> >roximate thereto, was originated some becades ago by VFW
' ^members along the eattern Seaboard as a counter to the aii
i nun! May Day demonstrations of Communists, or loyalty as
■ opposed to disloyalty.
The idea caught on, grew and spread untildn- 1950 the
:■ observance was inaugerated by the VFW on a nationwide
j basis, not only as a successful counter to Communism, but to
1 efford an opportunity at. a specific time each year when all
•rb>yal Americans could stand up and be counted.
Cooperation of civic, veteran, fraternal, labor and wo
'Snen’s organizations, religious, educational and youth groups,
»intd individual citizens was sought and obtained Jn the cele-j
■'bration of this non-partism, non sectarian, cooperative pro-i
j ^rara which has the endorsement of the Govenors of the,
/.States and Territories.
• The program has continued to expand, with three to
':'4 jur times the participation throughout the nation in 1953 of
any previous year. National recognition has been afforded by
. -re leipt of the highest award of Freedoms Foundation of Val
. Mey Forge the Distinguished Service award presented for
.winning four consecutive awards; by approval of publicity
-media; and by a bill pending in Congress to designate May 1st
as LOYALTY DAY. At a critical period in our history, the
VFW sponsored LOYALTY DAY has become established as a
-itime for open and avowed rededication to the things tha.t
.-.anale America great. I
This year, for the first time, Kodiak will have a Loyalty \
*Day demonstration. This demonstration will consist of a din
ner at the Civilian Club where awards wiil be given to the
^winners of an essay contest on the subject, “Why I Am
’ -I’roud of America”.
