consecrate ourselves to the work Of our Order

Since the last Memorial Day many of the COM

we have many new graves to decorate.
Steadily marches the army. with painful steps and
slow,
Down into the shadowy valley where the mystic
waters flow.
They tarry not nor falter, this army of soldiers
true,
When they hear from the great Commander, For

They close their ranks in order down into the

Following the voice Of their Leader with faith of
years ago.
So Irvine the evergreen wreath and bring the sweet
