that from the past to the present

American ideals of liberty, justice
and brotherhood dearer than their
own hearts blood; men who. at the

champions of liberty. humanity and
democracy, who have risked their
lives for Americas sake still remain
among us constant reminders that

the hearts of men. Thin. thin, also
are growing the ranks of these vetar-
ans of the Civil War but today we
may give them reverent and grateful
greetings as they lead the march of
