7a ' . . . that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not haue died in vain. -The Gettysburg Address Play not the mournful sound of taps nor toll the solemn chiming knellg Wail not a plaintive threnody nor ululate an elegy Por those who fought, for those who fell . . . mourn them DOI. But at the dawn, at break of day, o'er their cold and slum- bering clay, softly sound the reveille . . . Softly call their shadowy forms from out their tombs and let them see majestic cities, airy spans, begun by them with fearless hands- The sacred fruits of Liberty. -Pfc. Laurence R.
