"My Friends, 1t gives me very great
pleasure to meet with you on this mem
orIal day. The noblest. sentiment of
the human heart after love Of God is
love OF country. and that includes love
Of home. the cornerstone Of strength
and safety. Your race has demonstrat-
cd its patriotlsm by Its sacrIflces-Its
love of the nag by dying for 1t. That
is the greatest test OF fidelity and 10y
atty. The nation has appreciated the
valor and patriotism OF the black men
of the United States. They not only
fought in Cuba, but in the Philippines,
and they are carrying the flag US the
symbol of liberty and hope, to an op-
pressed people,"
