Yesterday we paid loving tribute TO
the memory of the men above whose
graves little iron shields or kindred
insignia stand to witness that those
who sleep there died for their coun'
try. Il is good for us TO do this, not
so much for the sake OF the heroic
dead-for II can matter little TO them
what flowers We stTew or where we
strew them-but rather for our own
sakes, that we may remember pre-
cisely what II means To give that last
full measure of devotion; that We
may perhaps be inspired to live worth
iIy-a thing sometimes harder to do
than to die worthily.
But there are many who died for
the common cause-no man can know
how many--whose graves are un'

We're very small and after opening at
