W. II. Brand, the newly elected division

speaking Of the G.. a. r. veterans on DO.
half Of the Sons OF Veterans, he said:
I'VE love the memory OF every man
who barred his breast in defense OF our
native land-from the officer with the
stars upon his shoulder down to the
humble private who marched in ragged
blue during that awful period; from the
time our flag went down in tho smoke at
Fort Sump,or, until it rose again in
glory at Appomattox, where on its
staff the God OF our nation brought tho
eagle OF victory to nestle with the sweet
dove OF peace. Political parties may
rise and fall, leaders come and go. but
SO long as the patriotism Of tho Union
soldier is enshrined in the hearts OF
u people, Just SO long will the Union
endure. With loyalty. love OF home,
and love Of country for its foundation,
the republic shall stand until the
heavens shall be rolled together US a
scroll and the stars shall fall from their
places in the armament"
