Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before Theodore Winthrop Encampment, Post 35, G. A. R: At Academy of Music, Chelsea, Mass;, Memorial Day, May 30, 1873 We are reminded by the prayer, the hymns, the poem, and by the address of His Honor the Mayor, that the glory of a nation is not in its institutions, or its natural advantages, not in its history, but in its men; and we rejoice to-day that, in the dark period of her history, America has not been wanting in true, brave men, who were willing to sacrifice life in defence of her liberties and honor. I approach the duty your favor has assigned me, realizing how utterly inadequate are human words to rightly express our emotions as we engage in a Memorial service dear to every loyal heart, and deeply conscious that I may not speak as you or I could wish, of your local history or of the personal character and individual actions of the men whose names you revere. Time in its unceasing flight has swiftly rolled away another year, and again at the appointed time, in this glad opening season, we assemble to pay homage to the memory of the patriot dead. So great was the number who sacrificed life in defence of the republic that there are few indeed among us who have not some relative or friend or dear companion now sleeping in soldiers´ graves.
