Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wisconsin Memorial Day Annual: Lincoln Centennial Number, 1909 The armies which, under the leadership of Washington, for eight long years waged warfare against greatly superior numbers made possible the founding of a nation "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." The heroes of the Revolution had no thought that any eye should ever "behold the broken and dishonored fragments" of the nation which they established. When the Union was threatened with disruption because of slavery, vast numbers of men coming from all walks of life fought to a successful close one of the most stupendous wars of history. They were the saviors of the nation. The veterans of the Civil War conformed to that definition of true patriotism which holds it to be the sacrifice of personal advantage for the general good. To save the Union they rallied ´round the flag on many a battle field. But the country must be saved in times of peace no less than in times of war, and heroes of peace must rally ´round the flag, not on the battlefield, but at home, in business, at the ballot-box. The celebration of Memorial Day should in large degree call to mind the desperate conflicts and the heroic sacrifices which were necessary in order that the nation might endure. But it should also call to mind the great civic obligation which rests upon the people of this country at the present time, and which will rest upon succeeding generations the obligation of unselfish devotion in times of peace to the welfare of all the people, even at the cost, if need be, of personal sacrifice. With this two-fold aim clearly in mind the recurring celebration of Memorial Day, and of other patriotic holidays, will not diminish, but will increase in interest and importance as the years go by. In addition to the selections for Memorial Day exercises there has been included in this years annual material for Lincoln´s birthday, Washington´s birthday, Flag Day, and Peace Day. Much of this additional material is also suitable for use in connection with Memorial Day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
