Memorial day marks our recognition of those who, from our national beginnings, hare deserved the most that the nntkm could give of gratitude and appreciation. It reminds us that in every generation, from Lexington to the Argonne, our valorous sons have well deserved the highest tribute that a nation, fortified, defended, preserved, could give to them.
