"...while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades."

Let us remember those who traded their tomorrows so that we might have ours.   God has indeed shed His grace on our land.  

Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.
