 "We have met here this morning to do honor to the memory of those who have given their lives in the service of their country. The cere- monies held here today are being observed in every part of this great land.
 "The proud flag of the republic droops at half-mast in the morning sunlight. Its rays will reflect the glory of this great flag as it pillows again at full mast the emblem of freedom and justice-the eternal sym bol that those who have perished in their country's cause have not died in vain.
 This day has been set apart by a grateful people in honor of their heroic dead. It is for the benefit of all those who have made the great sacrifice for their country and its flag. No distinction is made on ac- count of rank or influence. The stripes of authority are forgotten, the insignia and stars of command are for the moment ignored. Enlisted men and officers, those who fought in the vanguard, and those who have gone down to watery graves, are all equally honored today.
 Nor on an occasion of this char acteT should we forget those others, who in the service of their country have met fates even worse than death, who have come back to us maimed in limb, broken in body, sui fering from poison gases and insid- ious disease; men who have died not one death but hundred and who still battle with indomintab1e courage to regain health, strength and vigor What words of eulogy are fitting for such as these?
