The Veteran Badge.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Aug 6
you say: 1.-The best medal that any soldier
can have is GAR. badge, which is better
certificate of his service in the army than any
medal" etc. / take the liberty to differ with
you in that opinion. / wear the GAR. badge
and am proud Of the distinction it confers, but
it only certifes that | was in the army and
honorabiy discharged. also possess and some
times wear in public what is known as The
Veteran Medal" issued by the Government of
the State of Ohio to each Of her veteran volun-
teers Its intrinsic value is perhaps l or 2
cents, but to the owner it is priceless, for it
certiies that he served through the entire war
and is a bona-fide veteran.
The term veteran is used very indiscrimi-
nately. The GAR has many members who
have become veterans since the close Of the
war who certainly were not veterans in actual
service. One of the conditions of our re-enlist-
ment in the field was that we should be hence
forth known as veteran volunteers" So it is
natural that we should hold the veteran medal
in higher esteem as certificate of service in
the army than the GAR. badge Still con-
slider the GAR. a noble institution l am
proud of being member, and subscribe myself
most heartily to its principles Of F., C. and /.
