Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Grand Army of the Republic Under Its First Constitution and Ritual: Its Birth and Organization It was a mysterious awakening to the youth of the North in 1861 to obey the bugle call "To arms!" for war. It was the first appeal to his chivalry; and when he became a soldier, with musket in his hands, he for the first time realized that he was a hero. And when he came back from the war, the service he had given his country made him a veteran, and he became the recipient of the Nation´s homage. But the service was something more than simple duty performed, something more than obeying commands; it was a life of hardships, sufferings, anguish of wounds, weary marches, privations, battle. Such service placed him before the American people as a preferred creditor of the Nation, and no man, not a soldier, could put himself in his place. The soldier had made it possible to have and keep a united country, and around him was thrown that subtle charm that comes only to those who have felt the heat and passion of battle. It was natural, therefore, for such men to possess a feeling of the very closest friendship for those who had shared with them such service, which they knew could only be felt by those who had lived with them through the hours and days and years of a terrible war.
