Comrades of the 18th Mo. Cav, there is still
work for us to do. For over two and half
years we fought and tOiled in defense of the
Union, under the Stars and Stripes. Through
scenes of peril we stood together as brothers.
Since the mustering-out OF our command at
Leavenworth in 1866, many of our comrades
have crossed the dark river. From this time
forth let u.s. each one of us, try to get together
at least once in each year. We may be able to
aid one another in many ways. And by our
coming together we will show to the coming
generations the power of Fraternity, Charity,
and Loyalty.
