YOU have deserved by your services to your
country for which many of you have fought
and bled on the battlefield. 1t is a symbol
of German truth and manhood. 1t Is the
symbol of a. German soldiers honor. The
United states is bound close with Germany
by racial ties and intimate friendship. I
beg of you to take this flag as a symbol of

feeling toward the United States, and it
seems as If each year brings these two
great nations closer together"
