tory with victories and heroes, and
inspires its people with noble aims
and purposes. The American people
are the product OF all the struggles
and aspirations OF the past. The
men who fought at Manila and Santi,
ago were not the product OF a day, OF
OF a century. They were the rich, con
summate flower Of ages. This was true
in 81. The men we're heroes long
before that date, because the truth
OF great convictions, of splendid
courage, and OF a good cause, the
truth OF free American manhood, OF
wise and patriotic Legislation, OF ma
val and military discipline, had enter
tered and transformed their souls. II
this had not been the case Decoration
day would have had no place in our
nations life. Men without such pre-
paration without convictions OF
what is just and true never have,
and never will win such victories.
Such Is the law OF life.
