SENTIMENT PROBABLY has no
place in the makeup OF a soldier,
but there Is many a man OF high

And there is a tinge Of romance
that clings around Brown and
Ringgold that should be allowed TO
linger. not be summarily removed
through temporary exigencies.
History of the Valley. history OF
Texas. history of the United States

we need to be constantly reminded
OF those deeds.
