erai of the Military Order of the World
War, in a communication to The Star
repeated the Endorsement given the
memorial plan by his organiza ton. and
called attention to the wording of the
statement last year which accomna-
MED the contribution. This statement
follows:
We must not forget that America
has never had a professional soldier
IN uniform. ! do not believe there
was place in our entire country
where patriotism and the spirit of sac.
rltice was more rampant than the
District of Columbia. Washington
made a lasting contribution to the
lst Division. You were q part of
the Blue and Gray Division, in which
the sons of Grant and the sons Of
Lee died in each others arms. You
stepped from the Sunset Division to
take the place of those of other di-
visions who fell on the field of honor.
Your blood made forever glorious the
colors Of the Rainbow Division-a di-
vision whose record is over one-half of
the men killed or wounded in battle
The District of Columbia forever
lives in our Hall Of Fame. Your SOL
diers are mounted to highest posts
OF equal honor in the temple of our
immortals. Your banners are garland
ed with the oak leaves Of strength.
the rose leaves of beauty, the laurel
leaves Of victory. Now let the gold
memorial. Build it as an altar from
which shall rise in sweetest notes the
incense of our gratitude"
