Memorial day to Americans now is no impersonal affair, but sacred with personal ties that reach across continents and oceans. In the acts of loving memory we renew that spirit which stirs our feeling which should help us in our lives and which should stimulate us to discover and discharge the duties that we owe to civilization and to one another. Each year Memorial day bids us to be eternally mindful and to consecrate ourselves to fulfillment of the charge of our forefathers to see to it that "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" shall not perish from the earth. We have no day so dedicated to sentiment as Memorial day and sentiment is a great power. .
