on the golden shore. Let us now at the
appointed time garland the mounds OF
our fallen heroes with the choicest of
flowers, calling to our assistance the
boys Of our country; the children and
thus teach them loyalty to country and
flag and as we decorate the graves of
our heroic dead, let us not forget those
who fell in battle on the island of Cuba
and those brave sailors who sacrificed
their lives in the muddy wa tiers of Ha.
vana Harbor, as also our brave dead
heroes who sacrificed their lives for flag
and country in the far away isles of the
east and let us also remember our young
heroes and dear friends of the 5lst Iowa,
some of whom left but destined never
to return. Let us extend our heartfelt
sympathy to father, mother, brothers
and sisters who have been bereft and
let us not only feel it duty butts pleas
ure at all times to extend our cheer by
kind actions and words. Human hearts
may grow cold in death, may cease to
throb in quick response to the sound of
fife and drum in silent slumber that they
will not longer look up to see the
beauty folds Of freedoms banner but
the spirit Of Liberty, of Loyalty and of
Love cannot, will not die. 1t will be
handed down from father to son, from
mother to child and from generation to
generation until the coming of that
period when the Heavens will be rolled
together as scroll and the Angel of
God has proclaimed that "Time shall be
no MORE" Flowers for our dead, the
delicate wild roses family red, the val
ley lily bells, as purely which, as shines
their honor in the vernal light, all
blooms that be as fragrant as their fade
less memory! By tender hands entwin-
ed and garlanded, Flowers for our Dead!
Closed undaunted eyes, beneath the
Cuban or Philippine skies, while waves
our brave bright banner overhead.
Praise for our dead! Love for our dead!
o hearts that droop and mourn, be
comforted. The darksome path through
the abyss of pain, the final hour of
travail not in vain, for freedoms
morning smile, Broadens across the
seas from isle to isle, by reverent lips
let this fond word be said, Glove for
our Dead"
