The Flag and the Regiment.

When William Mckinley was Major
Mckinley, he once made IAN address in
which he described the difference between
the American volunteer and the soldier
OF other nations. The men who were his
comrades in the civil war, he said, not
only fought, but thought. To illustrate
this he related an anccdote about % young
soldier in some northern regiment whose
duty It was to carry the rcgimcnt.l flag.
