livered the immortal address enunciat-
ing principles which have rung around
the world for mora than a third of a
century.
President Roosevelt was escorted to

and his special escort were preceded by
several organizations, including a
squadron of United States cavalry, the
Third United States artillery and the

with that army that fought Fredericks-
burg and won the medal OF honor on
