‘Tbe Good Fight.”
“My earliest boyhood recollections
is of an old soldier of the Republic
who, coupled with his honors won at
Gettysburg a. character and ability
which commended his patriotism to
the community in which he lived.
These qualities have ‘ characterized
and commended the armies of this
country.
“America has never failed to hear
the cry of the world. Sometimes her
hands have' been tied. but always
there has been idealism and a. will to
champion the cause of the weak and
oppressed. This has been reflected
in the motives back of her soldiers.
Back ot’the bravado. and oil; im-
perfections there has been an ideal-
ism and a. love of justice. truth an ‘
right which makes our flag almost
the symbol for the hosts of faith.
We honor the noble brave who have
fought beneath such a. flag. .
